What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus," etc. But why did he take him off from Tarsus and bring him here? Not without good reason; for here were both good hopes, and a greater city, and a great body of people. See how grace works all, not Paul: by small means the affair was taking its commencement. When it is become difficult the Apostles take it up. Why did they not before this send Barnabas? Because they had enough to do with Jerusalem.
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul." Barnabas was a very good and simple and condescending man. He sought, says Luke, a fighter, a commander.
Western Saints
Bede
But he set out for Tarsus to search for Saul. For it was said earlier that Saul would be secretly sent from Jerusalem to Tarsus.
