ACTS 11:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:”
Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,—Barnabas's search for Saul (seeking him in Tarsus, his hometown) indicates that Saul has been largely absent from the narrative since his escape to Tarsus (9:30). Barnabas's knowledge of Saul's value and location suggests ongoing networks and perhaps prior relationship.
Church Fathers on Acts 11:25
Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul. Acts 11:25 He came to the athletic wrestler, the general (fit to lead armies), the champion of single combat, the lion — I am at a loss for words, say what I will — the hunting-dog, killer of lions, bull of strength, lamp of brightness, mouth sufficing for a world.
