Barnabas in Acts 9
BAR-nuh-bus
This person shows up in Acts 9:27: “But 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…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 9:27
“But 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.”
