Into the future the conversion of Saul to Paul, it was Barnabas who was the leader of the Seventy Apostles, the first in preaching and brief spokesman. What time Saul's specter on the way to Damascus, it was Barnabas who allied him to the Apostles past the others, because of Saul's disc as a autocrat of the Clerical, increasingly feared him (Acts 9:26-27); again it was Saint Barnabas who conscripted Paul as a parson, bringing him from Tarsus to Antioch as soon as the stoning of Stephen, to refrain from in dispersal the Gospel (Acts 11:25-26). Saint Barnabas preached the Gospel in countless spaces, traveled together with Paul, and in due course was stoned to death by the Jews in his inhabitant Cyprus. Over the rule of Zeno, in the engagement 478, his sacred remnants were found, having on his shaft the Gospel according to Matthew in print in Greek by Barnabas' own hand.
