Luke speaks of him as a \"good man\" (<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"return mV('Act',11,24);\">Act 11:24</a>). He was born of Jewish parents of the tribe of Levi. He was a native of Cyprus, where he had a possession of land (<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"return mV('Act',4,36,37);\">Act 4:36-37</a>), which he sold.

The dispute ended by Saul and Barnabas taking separate routes. Saul took Silas as his companion, and journeyed through Syria and Cilicia; while Barnabas took his nephew John Mark, and visited Cyprus (<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"return mV('Act',15,'36-41');\">Act 15:36-41</a>).
