Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas( which means“ son of encouragement”),

Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas( which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas( which means“ Son of Encouragement”). He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus.

Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus by birth, the one the apostles called Barnabas( which is translated Son of Encouragement),

Now Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles( which translated means Son of Encouragement),

And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles( which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,

And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas( which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

Joseph, a Levite and a Cypriot by birth, the one the apostles called Barnabas, which is translated Son of Encouragement,

And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,( which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite,[ and] of the country of Cyprus,

So Joseph, a Levite who was a native of Cyprus, called by the apostles Barnabas( which is translated“ son of encouragement”),

Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas( which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem. This time I went with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.

There were James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. Jesus gave them the name Boanerges. Boanerges means Sons of Thunder.

Peter’s actions were not honest, and other Jews in Antioch joined him. Even Barnabas was led astray.

Barnabas and Paul strongly disagreed with each other. So they went their separate ways. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus.

James, Peter and John are respected as pillars in the church. They recognized the special grace given to me. So they shook my hand and the hand of Barnabas. They wanted to show they accepted us. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles. They would go to the Jews.

Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to do other work for a living? Are we the only ones who can’t just do the work of apostles all the time?

Barnabas and Saul finished their task. Then they returned from Jerusalem. They took John Mark with them.In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers. Among them were Barnabas, Simeon, and Lucius from Cyrene. Simeon was also called Niger. Another was Manaen. He had been brought up with Herod, the ruler of Galilee. Saul was among them too.

They sent their gift to the elders through Barnabas and Saul.

Some of the believers from Caesarea went with us. They brought us to Mnason’s home. We were supposed to stay there. Mnason was from Cyprus. He was one of the first believers.

But Paul and Barnabas didn’t agree with this. They argued strongly with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed to go up to Jerusalem. Some other believers were chosen to go with them. They were told to ask the apostles and elders about this question.

But Barnabas took him to the apostles. He told them about Saul’s journey. He said that Saul had seen the Lord. He told how the Lord had spoken to Saul. Barnabas also said that Saul had preached without fear in Jesus’ name in Damascus.

The church in Jerusalem heard about this. So they sent Barnabas to Antioch.When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad. He told them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.Barnabas was a good man. He was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Large numbers of people came to know the Lord.Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul.

Some believers had been scattered by the suffering that unbelievers had caused them. They were scattered after Stephen was killed. Those believers traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch. But they spread the word only among Jews.Some believers from Cyprus and Cyrene went to Antioch. There they began to speak to Greeks also. They told them the good news about the Lord Jesus.

Everyone became quiet as they listened to Barnabas and Paul. They were telling about the signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them.
