Which New Testament figure is known as the "Son of Encouragement" and played a key role in restoring the reputation of Saul (Paul) after his conversion?

Correct Answer

B) Barnabas

Acts 9:27 tells us that it was Barnabas who took Saul (Paul) to the apostles and vouched for his genuine conversion. Barnabas, whose name means "Son of Encouragement", played a crucial role in restoring Paul's relationship with the early church and facilitating his ministry. This restoration theme echoes the promises in Isaiah 61:3.
