4Porque Juan le decía: No te es lícito tenerla.
5Y quería matarle, mas temía al pueblo; porque le tenían como á profeta.
6Mas celebrándose el día del nacimiento de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio, y agradó á Herodes.

 Barnabas had more largeness of heart-was more open to the testimonies of divine grace-than even the apostles and the others who had been nurtured in a strict Judaism; for God in His grace provides for everything. There is always a Barnabas, as well as a Nicodemus, a Joseph, and even a Gamaliel, whenever needed. (Acts 13 by J.N. Darby)
 Peter, with the exception of his part in the council held in Jerusalem (chap. 15), disappears from the inspired history before us. Another figure comes not merely into prominence, but into centrality even from this, the first chapter of what may be justly regarded as the second volume of the book of Acts. (Acts 13:1-12 by W. Kelly)
 None can deny a plurality of gifted men, five of high rank in full service of Christ, and this expressly in “the church that was at Antioch.” (Acts 13:1-12 by W. Kelly)
 The gracious power of the Lord according to His word in Matt. 20:16 was soon to make him first in the testimony of His truth who here occupies the last place. (Acts 13:1-12 by W. Kelly)

The best authorities omit "certain."
b
There is no authority whatever for the insertion of "as" before the word "Barnabas." Thus, the vague impression is removed, that there were other teachers there unnamed.
