Ju'das,
surnamed Barsabas, a leading member of the apostolic church at Jerusalem,
endued with the gift of prophesy, ver.
chosen with Silas to accompany Paul and Barnabas as delegates to the church at Antioch. (A.D. 47.) Later, Judas went back to Jerusalem.
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas--Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,
Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.
