Barnabas in Acts 15
BAR-nuh-bus
This person shows up in Acts 15:2: “Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 15:2
“Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.”
