The Bible states that Barnabas led the former persecutor “to the apostles, ” evidently referring to Peter (Cephas) and James, the brother of the Lord, apprising them of Saul’s conversion and of his preaching in Damascus.
Piibel räägib, et Barnabas esitles seda endist tagakiusajat apostlitele – ilmselt Peetrusele (Keefasele) ja Jakoobusele – kui Issanda venda ning informeeris neid tema usule pöördumisest ja kuulutustöö tegemisest Damaskuses.
