Re: Paul and Barnabas' Sharp Dispute - Acts 14 Life Study
Lee's assertion that Paul's maturity in this situation was superior to Barnabas' should also be questioned, because Barnabas was actually the brother in Christ who had helped to bring Paul into the ministry early on (recall how the brothers feared him, but it was Barnabas that informed them about his bold proclaiming of Jesus. See Acts 9:27. And, the church in Jerusalem sent Barnabas, who was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith to Antioch, and on the way he went forth to Tarsus to search for Paul and bring him to Antioch Acts 11:22-26.
