Although the date, place, and circumstances of his death are historically unverifiable, Christian tradition holds that Barnabas was martyred at Salamis, Cyprus, in 61 AD. They traveled together making more converts (c 45–47), and participated in the Council of Jerusalem (c 50) Barnabas and Paul successfully evangelized among the "God-fearing" Gentiles who attended synagogues in various Hellenized cities of Anatolia.īarnabas' story appears in the Acts of the Apostles, and Paul mentions him in some of his epistles. Named an apostle in Acts 14:14, he and Paul the Apostle undertook missionary journeys together and defended Gentile converts against the Judaizers. According to Acts 4:36, Barnabas was a Cypriot Jew. Aristarchus of Thessalonica Barnabasīarnabas ,born Joseph, was an early Christian, one of the prominent Christian disciples in Jerusalem. He is mentioned in the Roman Martyrology on August 4.Īristarchus son of Aristarchus, a politarch of Thessalonica (39/38 BC?) may be the same person with Aristarchus. He is commemorated as a saint and martyr on January 4, April 14, and September 27. In Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic tradition, Aristarchus is identified as one of the Seventy Apostles and bishop of Apamea. Aristarchus is described as Paul's "fellow prisoner" and "fellow laborer" in Colossians 4:10 and Philemon 1:24, respectively. At Caesarea, he embarked with Paul on a ship of Edremit (Adramyttium) bound for Myra in Lycia (Acts 27:2) whether he traveled with him from there to Rome is not recorded. Later, Aristarchus returned with Paul from Greece to Asia (Acts 20:4).
Along with Gaius, another Macedonian, Aristarchus was seized by the mob at Ephesus and taken into the theater (Acts 19:29).
He accompanied Apolstle Paul on his journey to Rome. The Companions Aristarchus of ThessalonicaĪristarchus or Aristarch ("a Greek Macedonian of Thessalonica" (Acts 27:2), was an early Christian mentioned in a few passages of the New Testament. For this reason we will separate these persons to two categories: Paul's companions during his missionary journeys and persons that simply mentioned in the Acts. Some others are playing key role in Paul's journeys and are shown to have important duties after Paul’s teaching and affection. For some of them we have only one reference.
