The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?A Cypriot Levite who walked beside Paul through the earliest missionary push into Gentile territory, then vanished from the record after a split - yet church tradition kept pinning texts to his name and claiming he founded a branch of Orthodoxy an ocean away from where the sources go silent.

Logroño, San Bernabé (2023) - 14About this person
Born Joseph or Joses, he appears in Acts as a companion to Paul the Apostle, traveling through Hellenized Anatolian cities to evangelize among Gentiles who lingered at synagogue edges. He joined Paul at the Council of Jerusalem around 49 AD, a hinge moment for the young church. Tertullian later named him author of the Epistle to the Hebrews; the Epistle of Barnabas carried his name in Codex Sinaiticus and was attributed to him by Clement of Alexandria, though both are conjecture. Christian tradition holds he was martyred at Salamis, Cyprus - historically unverifiable - and calls him founder of the Cypriot Orthodox Church. His feast falls on June 11.
