Saint Barnabas the Apostle

11:21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord. 22And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. 23Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord. 24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. 25And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. 26And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.

…

13:1Now there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them. 3Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.

1A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord anew canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.

2The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

3He hath remembered his mercy his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.

5Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:

6With long trumpets, and sound of comet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:

20For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment. 22But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee; 24Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift. 25Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing.
