Thou wast the Lord's servant and the first of the Seventy, and thy preaching shone with Paul's. Thou didst proclaim Christ the Saviour to all, O Barnabas. Wherefore we celebrate thy memory with hymns. Saint Barnabas was one of the 70 who Jesus sent out two by two during His earthly ministry. He was a Levite born to wealthy parents in Cyprus. His given name was Joseph, but the Apostles called him Barnabas which means "Son of Consolation". He studied under Gamaliel with Saul and was the first among the Apostles to welcome him after his conversion. Barnabas travelled and preached the Gospel with Paul and Mark in Antioch and on missionary journeys. He was the first to preach in Rome and Milan. He was martyred by the Jews in his home country of Cyprus. Mark buried his body at the western gate of the city of Salamis, with a copy of the Gospel of Matthew in his hands that he had personally copied. ************************************************************************* Congratulations and Many Years!
