27. 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 ( Galatians 1:18 ; Galatians 1:19 ). Probably none of the other apostles were there at the time ( Galatians 1:19- : ). 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 ( Acts 11:24 ), and with the name "son of consolation," given him by the apostles ( Acts 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. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-28" class="com-number"
