Barnabas Son of Encouragement

Sells his field at the start; brings the new convert Saul to the apostles when they fear him; sent to confirm the work at Antioch; goes for Saul at Tarsus to bring him in; sticks up for John Mark after a falling-out and takes him on the second journey when Paul will not. Restoration path: Sell the field; vouch for the suspected convert; take a chance on the failed disciple again. Markers: liquidates early to give; vouches for the newly converted; goes to fetch the absent; stands for the failed disciple over the apostles objection; makes the second-chance ministry
