According to the text, Barnabas teaches, heals, and confronts the worship of idols. His journey brings him into conflict with the magician Barjesus, while crowds can turn from welcome to resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anonymous Christian account belongs to the apocryphal acts, writings that grow beside the New Testament rather than within it. Scholars place it in the later fifth century, long after Barnabas’s lifetime.
