Strong's Lexicon Barnabas: Barnabas Original Word: Βαρνάβας Word Origin: Of Aramaic origin, from בַּר (bar, meaning "son") and נְבוּאָה (nebuah, meaning "prophecy" or "encouragement") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Barnabas, the components of his name relate to Strong's Hebrew entries: בַּר (H1247) for "son" and נְבוּאָה (H5016) for "prophecy" or "inspired speech." Usage: Barnabas is a significant figure in the New Testament, known as "Son of Encouragement" or "Son of Consolation." He was a Levite from Cyprus and an early Christian disciple who played a crucial role in the spread of the Gospel. Barnabas is recognized for his encouragement, generosity, and leadership within the early Church. Cultural and Historical Background: Barnabas was a Jewish convert to Christianity and a member of the early Jerusalem church. He is first introduced in Acts 4:36-37, where he sells a field and donates the proceeds to the apostles. Barnabas was instrumental in introducing Paul (formerly Saul) to the apostles after Paul's conversion (Acts 9:27). He later became a missionary companion of Paul, embarking on missionary journeys to spread the Gospel to the Gentiles. Barnabas is also noted for his role in the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15), where he advocated for the inclusion of Gentile converts without the necessity of adhering to all Jewish customs.
