Barnabas (; Aramaic: ܒܪܢܒܐ; Ancient Greek: Βαρνάβας), built-in Joseph ( Ἰωσήφ ) or Joses ( Ἰωσής ),^[1] was according to tradition an early Christian, one of the prominent Christian disciples in Jerusalem. According to Acts 4:36, Barnabas was a Cypriot Jew. Named an campaigner in Acts 14:fourteen,^[ii] he and Paul the Apostle undertook missionary journeys together and defended Gentile converts against the Judaizers. They traveled together making more converts (c.  45–47), and participated in the Council of Jerusalem (c.  fifty). Barnabas and Paul successfully evangelized among the "God-fearing" Gentiles who attended synagogues in various Hellenized cities of Anatolia.

Barnabas' story appears in the Acts of the Apostles, and Paul mentions him in some of his epistles. Tertullian named him equally the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, only this and other attributions are conjecture. Cloudless of Alexandria and some scholars have ascribed the Epistle of Barnabas to him, but his authorship is debunked.^[3]

Although the date, place, and circumstances of his expiry are historically unverifiable, Christian tradition holds that Barnabas was martyred at Salamis, Cyprus. He is traditionally identified as the founder of the Cypriot Orthodox Church. The feast day of Barnabas is celebrated on June xi.

Barnabas is unremarkably identified as the cousin of Mark the Evangelist on the basis of the term "anepsios" used in Colossians 4, which carries the connotation of "cousin." Orthodox tradition holds that Aristobulus of Britannia, one of the Seventy Disciples, was the brother of Barnabas.^[4]

Name and etymologies [edit]

His Hellenic Jewish parents called him Joseph (although the Byzantine text-blazon calls him Ἰωσῆς , Iōsēs , 'Joses', a Greek variant of 'Joseph'),^[i] but when recounting the story of how he sold some state and gave the money to the apostles in Jerusalem, the Book of Acts says the apostles called him Barnabas. (The "s" at the end is the Greek nominative example ending, and it is not nowadays in the Aramaic form.) The Greek text of Acts 4:36 explains the name as υἱὸς παρακλήσεως , hyios paraklēseōs , significant "son of encouragement" or "son of consolation". Ane theory is that this is from the Aramaic בר נחמה , bar neḥmā , meaning 'son (of) consolation'. Another is that it is related to the Hebrew word nabī ( נביא , Aramaic nebī ) significant "prophet".^{[5] [6]} In the Syriac Bible, the phrase "son of consolation" is translated bara dbuya'a .^[seven]

Biblical narrative [edit]

Barnabas appears mainly in Acts, a history of the early Christian church. He too appears in several of Paul's epistles.

Barnabas, a native of Republic of cyprus and a Levite, is starting time mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles every bit a member of the early Christian customs in Jerusalem, who sold some land that he endemic and gave the proceeds to the community.^[ane] When the future Paul the Campaigner returned to Jerusalem subsequently his conversion, Barnabas introduced him to the apostles. Easton, in his Bible Dictionary, supposes that they had been fellow students in the school of Gamaliel.^[8]

The successful preaching of Christianity at Antioch to not-Jews led the church at Jerusalem to send Barnabas in that location to oversee the move. He found the piece of work then extensive and weighty that he went to Tarsus in search of Paul (still referred to as Saul), "an admirable colleague", to assist him. Paul returned with him to Antioch and labored with him for a whole yr. At the stop of this period, the 2 were sent up to Jerusalem (44 Advert) with contributions from the church at Antioch for the relief of the poorer Christians in Judea.^[nine]

They returned to Antioch taking John Mark with them, the cousin or nephew of Barnabas. Later, they went to Cyprus and some of the master cities of Pamphylia, Pisidia, and Lycaonia. Afterward recounting what the governor of Cyprus Sergius Paulus believed, Acts xiii:9^[10] speaks of Barnabas's spiritual brother no longer every bit Saul, only as Paul, his Roman name, and generally refers to the two no longer as "Barnabas and Saul" as heretofore, simply equally "Paul and Barnabas". Simply in Acts 14:14^[eleven] and Acts 15:12–25^[12] does Barnabas again occupy the first identify, in the first passage with recollection of Acts 14:12,^[13] in the concluding 2, because Barnabas stood in closer relation to the Jerusalem church building than Paul. Paul appears equally the more eloquent missionary, whence the Lystrans regarded him as Hermes and Barnabas as Zeus.^[9]

Acts 14:14^[14] is besides the unique biblical topic where Saint Barnabas is chosen with the Greek give-and-take for Campaigner.^[xv]

Returning from this first missionary journey to Antioch, they were once again sent up to Jerusalem to consult with the church in that location regarding the relation of Gentiles to the church building.^[9] According to Galatians ii:nine–10, Barnabas was included with Paul in the understanding made betwixt them, on the ane hand, and James, Peter, and John, on the other, that the two former should in the futurity preach to the pagans, non forgetting the poor at Jerusalem. This matter having been settled, they returned once again to Antioch, bringing the understanding of the quango that Gentiles were to exist admitted into the church building without having to adopt Jewish practices.

After they had returned to Antioch from the Jerusalem council, they spent some fourth dimension in that location. Peter came and associated freely in that location with the Gentiles, eating with them, until criticized for this by some disciples of James, as against Mosaic law. Upon their remonstrances, Peter yielded apparently through fear of displeasing them, and refused to eat whatsoever longer with the Gentiles. Barnabas followed his case. Paul considered that they "walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel" and upbraided them earlier the whole church building.^[sixteen] In Galatians 2:xi–thirteen,^[17] Paul says, "And when Kephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face considering he clearly was wrong. For, until some people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; merely when they came, he began to describe back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcised. And the residue of the Jews (also) acted hypocritically along with him, with the event that even Barnabas was carried away past their hypocrisy."

Paul so asked Barnabas to accompany him on some other journeying. Barnabas wished to take John Mark along, but Paul did not, as he had left them on the earlier journeying. The dispute ended by Paul and Barnabas taking separate routes. Paul took Silas every bit his companion, and journeyed through Syria and Cilicia; while Barnabas took John Marker to visit Cyprus.^[16]

Little is known of the subsequent career of Barnabas. He was still living and labouring as an Apostle in 56 or 57, when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians (9:5–six), in which it is stated that he, too, like Paul, earned his own living. The reference indicates too that the friendship between the two was unimpaired. When Paul was a prisoner in Rome (61–63), John Marker was attached to him as a disciple, which is regarded every bit an indication that Barnabas was no longer living (Colossians 4:10).^[sixteen]

Barnabas and Antioch [edit]

Antioch, the third-most important metropolis of the Roman Empire,^[18] then the capital city of Syria province, today Antakya, Turkey, was where Christians were first called thus.^[xix]

Some of those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went to Antioch, which became the site of an early Christian community.^[xx] A considerable minority of the Antioch church of Barnabas'southward time belonged to the merchant class, and they provided back up to the poorer Jerusalem church.^[21]

Church tradition developed exterior of the canon of the New Testament describes the martyrdom of many saints, including the legend of the martyrdom of Barnabas.^[22] It relates that sure Jews coming to Syria and Salamis, where Barnabas was then preaching the gospel, being highly exasperated at his boggling success, cruel upon him as he was disputing in the synagogue, dragged him out, and, afterwards the about inhumane tortures, stoned him to expiry. His kinsman, John Marker, who was a spectator of this brutal activeness, privately interred his body.^[23]

Although it is believed he was martyred past being stoned, the counterfeit Acts of Barnabas states that he was bound with a rope past the cervix, and then being dragged but to the site where he would exist burned to death.

According to the History of the Cyprus Church,^[24] in 478 Barnabas appeared in a dream to the Archbishop of Constantia (Salamis, Cyprus) Anthemios and revealed to him the place of his sepulchre below a carob-tree. The following twenty-four hour period Anthemios found the tomb and inside it the remains of Barnabas with a manuscript of Matthew's Gospel on his breast. Anthemios presented the Gospel to Emperor Zeno at Constantinople and received from him the privileges of the Greek Orthodox Church building of Cyprus, that is, the purple cloak which the Greek Archbishop of Cyprus wears at festivals of the church, the imperial sceptre and the red ink with which he affixes his signature.

Anthemios so placed the venerable remains of Barnabas in a church which he founded near the tomb. Excavations nigh the site of a present-day church building and monastery, have revealed an early church with two empty tombs, believed to be that of St. Barnabas and Anthemios.^[25]

St. Barnabas is venerated as the Patron Saint of Cyprus.

Barnabas the Campaigner is remembered in the Church of England with a festival on 11 June.^[26]

Other sources [edit]

Although many assume that the biblical Mark the cousin of Barnabas^[27] is the same as John Mark^[28] and Marker the Evangelist, the traditionally believed author of the Gospel of Mark, according to Hippolytus of Rome,^[29] the iii "Marks are distinct persons. They were all members of the 70 Apostles of Christ, including Barnabas himself. There are two people named Barnabas among Hippolytus' list of Seventy Disciples, one (#13) became the bishop of Milan, the other (#25) the bishop of Heraclea. Most likely 1 of these two is the biblical Barnabas; the first ane is more than likely, because the numbering by Hippolytus seems to bespeak a level of significance. Clement of Alexandria^[xxx] also makes Barnabas one of the Seventy Disciples that are mentioned in the Gospel of Luke.^[31]

Other sources bring Barnabas to Rome and Alexandria. In the "Clementine Recognitions" (i, 7) he is depicted equally preaching in Rome fifty-fifty during Christ's lifetime.

Cypriots developed the tradition of his later activity and martyrdom no before than the 3rd century. The question whether Barnabas was an apostle was oftentimes discussed during the Middle Ages.^[32]

Alleged writings [edit]

Tertullian and other Western writers regard Barnabas as the author of the Letter to the Hebrews. This may have been the Roman tradition—which Tertullian commonly follows—and in Rome the epistle may accept had its starting time readers. Modern biblical scholarship considers its authorship unknown, though Barnabas amongst others has been proposed as potential authors.^[33]

"Photius of the ninth century, refers to some in his day who were uncertain whether the Acts was written by Clement of Rome, Barnabas, or Luke. Yet Photius is sure that the work must be ascribed to Luke." ^[34]

He is likewise traditionally associated with the Epistle of Barnabas, although some modernistic scholars remember information technology more than likely that the epistle was written in Alexandria in the 130s. John Dominic Crossan quotes Koester as stating that New Testament writings are used "neither explicitly nor tacitly" in the Epistle of Barnabas and that this "would fence for an early date, peradventure fifty-fifty before the stop of the commencement century AD." Crossan continues (The Cross that Spoke, p. 121): Richardson and Shukster accept besides argued for a first-century date. Among several arguments they point to the detail of "a piffling king, who shall subdue three of the kings under one" and "a little crescent horn, and that it subdued under 1 3 of the great horns" in Barnabas 4:four–5. They propose a limerick "appointment during or immediately after the reign of Nerva (96–8 AD.) . . . viewed as bringing to an stop the glorious Flavian dynasty of Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian . . . when a powerful, distinguished, and successful dynasty was brought low, humiliated by an assassin's knife" (33, forty). In 16:3–four, the Epistle of Barnabas says: "Furthermore he says again, 'Lo, they who destroyed this temple shall themselves build it.' That is happening at present. For attributable to the war it was destroyed by the enemy; at present fifty-fifty the servants of the enemy will build information technology upward again." This clearly places Barnabas later on the destruction of the temple in lxx AD. But it as well places Barnabas before the Bar Kochba revolt in 132 Advertising, afterwards which there could accept been no hope that the Romans would help to rebuild the temple. This shows that the document comes from the period betwixt these 2 revolts. Jay Curry Treat states on the dating of Barnabas (The Ballast Bible Lexicon, 5. 1, pp. 613–614): Since Barnabas 16:iii refers to the destruction of the temple, Barnabas must exist written after lxx C.East. Information technology must exist written before its beginning indisputable utilise in Clement of Alexandria, ca. 190. Since 16:4 expects the temple to be rebuilt, it was well-nigh likely written before Hadrian congenital a Roman temple on the site ca. 135. Attempts to use 4:4–5 and xvi:1–five to specify the time of origin more exactly have not won wide agreement. It is important to remember that traditions of varying ages have been incorporated into this piece of work. Treat comments on the provenance of the Epistle of Barnabas (op. cit., p. 613): Barnabas does not give enough indications to permit confident identification of either the instructor's location or the location to which he writes. His idea, hermeneutical methods, and style have many parallels throughout the known Jewish and Christian worlds. Most scholars take located the work's origin in the expanse of Alexandria, on the grounds that it has many affinities with Alexandrian Jewish and Christian thought and considering its first witnesses are Alexandrian. Recently, Prigent (Prigent and Kraft 1971: 20–24), Wengst (1971: 114–18), and Scorza Barcellona (1975: 62–65) have suggested other origins based on affinities in Palestine, Syrian arab republic, and Asia Modest. The place of origin must remain an open up question, although the Greek-speaking E. Mediterranean appears most probable. Concerning the relationship between Barnabas and the New Testament, Treat writes (op. cit., p. 614): Although Barnabas iv:fourteen appears to quote Matt 22:xiv, it must remain an open question whether the Barnabas circle knew written gospels. Based on Koester's analysis (1957: 125–27, 157), it appears more likely that Barnabas stood in the living oral tradition used by the written gospels. For example, the reference to gall and vinegar in Barnabas 7:three, 5 seems to preserve an early stage of tradition that influenced the formation of the passion narratives in the Gospel of Peter and the synoptic gospels.

The 5th century Decretum Gelasianum includes a Gospel of Barnabas amid works condemned as apocryphal; but no sure text or quotation from this piece of work has been identified.

Some other volume using that aforementioned title, the Gospel of Barnabas, survives in ii post-medieval manuscripts in Italian and Spanish.^[35] Contrary to the canonical Christian Gospels, and in accordance with the Islamic view of Jesus, this later Gospel of Barnabas states that Jesus was not the son of God, only a prophet and messenger.

The Barnabites [edit]

In 1538, the Cosmic religious order officially known as "Clerics Regular of St. Paul" (Clerici Regulares Sancti Pauli), gained the grand one-time Monastery of Saint Barnabas by the metropolis wall of Milan as their primary seat. The Lodge was thenceforth known by the popular name of Barnabites.^[36]
