Barnabas
바나바
Named at Acts 4:36: “Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race.” At 4:37, having a field, he sells it and brings the money and lays it at the apostles’ feet. The Korean Revised Version calls him 요셉 and gives Barnabas as 권위자 when interpreted. Acts 9:26–27 says that when Saul had come to Jerusalem and tried to join himself to the disciples, they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple; but Barnabas took Saul and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how at Damascus Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 11:22–26 says that the assembly in Jerusalem sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch, and when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he was glad and exhorted them all there that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord, for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and that Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul and, when he had found him, brought him to Antioch; at 11:30 and 12:25 the disciples send relief to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul, and Barnabas and Saul return to Jerusalem when they have fulfilled their service, taking with them John who was called Mark; 13:1–3 names Barnabas among the prophets and teachers in the assembly at Antioch, where the Holy Spirit says, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me”; at 13:46–50 Paul and Barnabas say, “behold, we turn to the Gentiles,” and the Jews stir up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and throw them out of their borders; at 14:12–14 the multitude at Lystra call Barnabas “Jupiter”, and the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, tear their clothes and spring into the multitude; and at 14:20 Paul goes out with Barnabas to Derbe on the next day. At Acts 15:1–4 Paul and Barnabas have no small discord and discussion with some men who came down from Judea, and Paul, Barnabas, and some others are appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders; at 15:12 the multitude listens to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them; the letter of 15:25–26 calls them “our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”; at 15:35 Paul and Barnabas stay in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord; and at 15:36–39 Barnabas plans to take John, who was called Mark, with them also, but Paul doesn’t think that it is a good idea; the contention grows so sharp that they separate from each other, and Barnabas takes Mark with him and sails away to Cyprus. Galatians 2:1 says that after fourteen years the writer (“I”) went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also; 2:9 that James and Cephas and John, reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and the writer the right hand of fellowship; and 2:11–13 that when Peter came to Antioch and drew back and separated himself, “the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.”

1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?
2If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3My defense to those who examine me is this:
4Have we no right to eat and to drink?
5Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
6Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
7What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?
8Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?
9For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,
10or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.
11If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?
12If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we didn’t use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.
13Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?
14Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.
- ACT 4:32–37, engwebp
32The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
- ACT 9:26–30, engwebp
26When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
- ACT 11:22–26, engwebp
22The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
23who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
- ACT 11:27–30, engwebp
27Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
- ACT 12:24–25, engwebp
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
- ACT 13:1–3, engwebp
1Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
3Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
- ACT 13:4–12, engwebp
4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
6When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
7who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
10and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
- ACT 13:42–52, engwebp
42So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
47For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
48As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
49The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
50But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
- ACT 14:1–7, engwebp
1In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7There they preached the Good News.
- ACT 14:8–20, engwebp
8At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
- ACT 14:21–28, engwebp
21When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
- ACT 15:1–5, engwebp
1Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
2Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
4When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
5But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
- ACT 15:12–21, engwebp
12All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
13After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
14Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
15This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
16‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
17that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
18“All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.
19Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
20but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
- ACT 15:22–29, engwebp
22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
23They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
25it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
- ACT 15:30–33, engwebp
30So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
33After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
- ACT 15:35, engwebp
35But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
- ACT 15:36–41, engwebp
36After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
39Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
40but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
- COL 4:10–17, engwebp
10Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, “if he comes to you, receive him”),
11and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.
12Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13For I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
14Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.
15Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house.
16When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
17Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”
- GAL 2:1–10, engwebp
1Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
2I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
3But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
4This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
5to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
6But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
7but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
8for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
9and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
10They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
- GAL 2:11–14, engwebp
11But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
13And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

[Bibliadatum entry report] Entry: Barnabas (person-barnabas) Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/person/barnabas Current wording: Named at Acts 4:36: “Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race.” At 4:37, having a field, he sells it and brings the money and lays it at the apostles’ feet. The Korean Revised Version calls him 요셉 and gives Barnabas as 권위자 when interpreted. Acts 9:26–27 says that when Saul had come to Jerusalem and tried to join himself to the disciples, they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple; but Barnabas took Saul and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how at Damascus Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 11:22–26 says that the assembly in Jerusalem sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch, and when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he was glad and exhorted them all there that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord, for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and that Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul and, when he had found him, brought him to Antioch; at 11:30 and 12:25 the disciples send relief to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul, and Barnabas and Saul return to Jerusalem when they have fulfilled their service, taking with them John who was called Mark; 13:1–3 names Barnabas among the prophets and teachers in the assembly at Antioch, where the Holy Spirit says, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me”; at 13:46–50 Paul and Barnabas say, “behold, we turn to the Gentiles,” and the Jews stir up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and throw them out of their borders; at 14:12–14 the multitude at Lystra call Barnabas “Jupiter”, and the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, tear their clothes and spring into the multitude; and at 14:20 Paul goes out with Barnabas to Derbe on the next day. At Acts 15:1–4 Paul and Barnabas have no small discord and discussion with some men who came down from Judea, and Paul, Barnabas, and some others are appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders; at 15:12 the multitude listens to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them; the letter of 15:25–26 calls them “our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”; at 15:35 Paul and Barnabas stay in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord; and at 15:36–39 Barnabas plans to take John, who was called Mark, with them also, but Paul doesn’t think that it is a good idea; the contention grows so sharp that they separate from each other, and Barnabas takes Mark with him and sails away to Cyprus. Galatians 2:1 says that after fourteen years the writer (“I”) went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also; 2:9 that James and Cephas and John, reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and the writer the right hand of fellowship; and 2:11–13 that when Peter came to Antioch and drew back and separated himself, “the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.” Cited evidence: 1CO 9:1–14, engwebp / ACT 4:32–37, engwebp / ACT 9:26–30, engwebp / ACT 11:22–26, engwebp / ACT 11:27–30, engwebp / ACT 12:24–25, engwebp / ACT 13:1–3, engwebp / ACT 13:4–12, engwebp (and 13 more of 21) Review state: ai-assisted / human-review-pending What looks wrong: (not written yet) --- This collection records what the text says and does not settle interpretation.
