Barnabas in Acts 13
BAR-nuh-bus
This person shows up in Acts 13:1: “Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 13:1
“Now 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.”
