In the Christian tradition, Barnabas was not one of the Twelve apostles, but a disciple of Paul of Tarsus. The latter would have presented him to the Apostles (Acts 9:27) who entrusted him with evangelization tasks in the company of Paul. His name was Joseph, and he was a Levite from Cyprus. Barnabas was a nickname meaning "son of prophet" (Bar-Nébi or Ben-Nébi). He evangelized Syria and Greece with Paul. He accompanied Paul to Antioch, Jerusalem, Perga and Lystra in particular. He was later in disagreement with Paul during the "incident of Antioch" concerning the practice of circumcision that Paul wanted to abandon despite Peter's reservations.
