English summary: For a long time, the role of Barnabas as a co-worker of Paul was neglected. Markus Ohler shows that he was in fact more important to early Christianity than Luke’s portrait of him in Acts suggests. Barnabas functioned as a mediator between the Jerusalem community centered around the Torah and the Christians in Antioch who tried to establish a mission to the pagans without being bound by the law. In Paul’s eyes, Barnabas acted as his patron in Antioch and in his first journey as a missionary, but they differed considerably in their personalities and their theology. Although Luke gives a subtly differentiated portrait of the Cypriot Levite, Barnabas is nevertheless clearly overshadowed by Paul. In this work, the author’s purpose is to show Barnabas in a new light. German description: Markus Ohler zeigt die grosse Bedeutung des Barnabas fur die Entwicklung des fruhen Christentums und die besondere Weise der Rezeption dieser Figur in der Apostelgeschichte auf. Historisch erweist sich Barnabas als Bindeglied zwischen dem toratreuen Christentum Jerusalemer Provenienz und dem heidenmissionarisch orientierten Christentum Antiochiens. Fur die Mission im Suden Kleinasiens war er die entscheidende Gestalt und wirkte so auch als Patron des Paulus, der sich jedoch spater von ihm loste.Lukas zeichnet in der Apostelgeschichte ein differenziertes Portrat des Barnabas, stellt ihn freilich auch deutlich in den Schatten des Paulus. Die Untersuchung von Markus Ohler stellt hingegen den grossen Stellenwert des zypriotischen Leviten fur das Urchristentum dar.
