There was a great multitude added. Though the number of the godly was already great, yet Luke saith, that it increased by Barnabas his coming. Thus doth the building of the church go forward when one doth help another with mutual consent, and one doeth gently allow that which another hath begun.

25 And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul. 26 And when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. And it happened that they lived a whole year in the church, & did teach a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first called christians.

25 Barnabas his simplicity is commended to us now the second time, that whereas he might have borne the chiefest swing at Antioch yet went he into Cilicia, that he might fetch Paul thence, who he knew should be preferred before him. Therefore we see how, forgetting himself he respecteth nothing, but that Christ may be chief, how he setteth before his eyes the edifying of the church alone, how he is content with the prosperous success of the Gospel. Therefore Barnabas is no whit afraid least Paul do any whit debase him by his coming, so he glorify Christ.
