Barnabas

Name given to Joseph (also called Joses), a Levite of Cyprus, who sold his land and gave the proceeds to the Apostles (Acts 4: 36-37). Though not one of the original Twelve Apostles, he did become an Apostle (Acts 14: 4, 14) and served on several missionary journeys (Acts 11: 22-30; 12: 25; 13-15; 1 Cor. 9: 6; Gal. 2: 1, 9; Col. 4: 10).
