“Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,”
Acts 14:14 KJV
When the apostles understood what was happening, they were mortified and tore their clothes as a sign of dismay. They rushed into the crowd and shouted. In the book of Acts, it clearly states that there were more than twelve apostles who were recognised by the Church. Barnabas is described multiple times as an apostle. Scripture says that apostles and prophets will minister and equip the Body of Christ until we are complete and restored into Christ’s fullness. He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. What a privilege we have that through the knowledge of the Son of God, we reach the stature of the perfect man through the fullness of Christ. Amen!
