فَأَخَذَهُ بَرْنَابَا وَأَحْضَرَهُ إِلَى الرُّسُلِ، وَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ الرَّبَّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَأَنَّهُ كَلَّمَهُ، وَكَيْفَ جَاهَرَ فِي دِمَشْقَ بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ.

But Barnabas . . . brought him to the apostles--that is, to Peter and James; for "other of the apostles saw I none," says he fourteen years after (Gal 1:18-19). Probably none of the other apostles were there at the time (Act 4:36). Barnabas being of Cyprus, which was within a few hours' sail of Cilicia, and annexed to it as a Roman province, and Saul and he being Hellenistic Jews and eminent in their respective localities, they may very well have been acquainted with each other before this [HOWSON]. What is here said of Barnabas is in fine consistency with the "goodness" ascribed to him (Act 11:24), and with the name "son of consolation," given him by the apostles (Act 4:36); and after Peter and James were satisfied, the disciples generally would at once receive him. how he had seen the Lord . . . and he--the Lord. had spoken to him--that is, how he had received his commission direct from the Lord Himself.

وَيُوسُفُ الَّذِي دُعِيَ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ بَرْنَابَا، الَّذِي يُتَرْجَمُ ابْنَ الْوَعْظِ، وَهُوَ لاَوِيٌّ قُبْرُسِيُّ الْجِنْسِ،
وَالآنَ يَارَبُّ، انْظُرْ إِلَى تَهْدِيدَاتِهِمْ، وَامْنَحْ عَبِيدَكَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِكَلاَمِكَ بِكُلِّ مُجَاهَرَةٍ،
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا مُجَاهَرَةَ بُطْرُسَ وَيُوحَنَّا، وَوَجَدُوا أَنَّهُمَا إِنْسَانَانِ عَدِيمَا الْعِلْمِ وَعَامِّيَّانِ، تَعَجَّبُوا. فَعَرَفُوهُمَا أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مَعَ يَسُوعَ.
وَآخِرَ الْكُلِّ كَأَنَّهُ لِلسِّقْطِ ظَهَرَ لِي أَنَا.
أَمْ أَنَا وَبَرْنَابَا وَحْدَنَا لَيْسَ لَنَا سُلْطَانٌ أَنْ لاَ نَشْتَغِلَ؟
فَلَمَّا حَصَلَ لِبُولُسَ وَبَرْنَابَا مُنَازَعَةٌ وَمُبَاحَثَةٌ لَيْسَتْ بِقَلِيلَةٍ مَعَهُمْ، رَتَّبُوا أَنْ يَصْعَدَ بُولُسُ وَبَرْنَابَا وَأُنَاسٌ آخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الرُّسُلِ وَالْمَشَايخِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ.
فَسُمِعَ الْخَبَرُ عَنْهُمْ فِي آذَانِ الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا بَرْنَابَا لِكَيْ يَجْتَازَ إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ.
وَرَجَعَ بَرْنَابَا وَشَاوُلُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْدَ مَا كَمَّلاَ الْخِدْمَةَ، وَأَخَذَا مَعَهُمَا يُوحَنَّا الْمُلَقَّبَ مَرْقُسَ.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بَرْنَابَا إِلَى طَرْسُوسَ لِيَطْلُبَ شَاوُلَ. وَلَمَّا وَجَدَهُ جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ.
وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَخْدِمُونَ الرَّبَّ وَيَصُومُونَ، قَالَ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ:«أَفْرِزُوا لِي بَرْنَابَا وَشَاوُلَ لِلْعَمَلِ الَّذِي دَعَوْتُهُمَا إِلَيْهِ».
