Named an apostle in (), he and Paul the Apostle undertook missionary journeys together and defended Gentile converts against the Judaizers.〔 They traveled together making more converts (''c'' 45–47), and participated in the Council of Jerusalem (''c'' 50).〔Durant, Will. Caesar and Christ. New York: Simon and Schuster. 1972〕 Barnabas and Paul successfully evangelized among the "God-fearing" Gentiles who attended synagogues in various Hellenized cities of Anatolia.〔 Barnabas' story appears in the Acts of the Apostles, and Paul mentions him in some of his epistles.〔"Barnabas." Cross, F. L., ed. ''The Oxford dictionary of the Christian church''. New York: Oxford University Press. 2005〕 Tertullian named him as the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews,〔 but this and other attributions are conjecture.〔"Hebrews, Epistle to the" Cross, F. L., ed. ''The Oxford dictionary of the Christian church''. New York: Oxford University Press. 2005〕 Clement of Alexandria and some scholars have ascribed the Epistle of Barnabas to him, but his authorship is disputed.〔"Epistle of Barnabas." Cross, F. L., ed.

This name appears to be from the Aramaic , ', meaning 'the son (of the) prophet'. However, the Greek text of the explains the name as , ''hyios paraklēseōs'', meaning ''"son of consolation" or "son of encouragement".''
