St. Barnabas
Saint Barnabas was of the tribe of Levi, but born in Cyprus and, as Holy Scripture relates, was one of the seventy-two disciples of Jesus. The first mention we find of him is in the Acts of the Apostles (4:36), where it is related that “the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that aught of the things which he possessed was his own”.
No one in particular is mentioned on this occasion but Joseph, a rich Levite from Cyprus, who sold his land “and brought the price and laid it at the feet of the Apostles”. The Apostles changed his name from Joseph to Barnabas, the son of consolation. It was he who “introduced” St. Paul to the Apostles, and thus to the Church. Later St. Barnabas accompanied St. Paul the Apostle during his evangelization of the pagans in Cyprus.
The Church in Jerusalem “sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. …And Barna bas went to Tarsus to seek Saul; whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. And they conversed there in the Church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch, the disciples were first named Christians. “Now there were in the Church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them. Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away” (Acts 11:21-26; 13:1-3).
Although Barnabas was not one of the “Twelve”, the Church has always honored him as an Apostle. According to tradition, St. Barnabas died for the Faith in Cyprus.
