The name that is transliterated as “Judas Barsabbas” in English is translated in Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) with a sign that combines “Sabbath ” (the meaning of “Barsabbas” is possibly “born on Sabbath”) and “chosen” because he was chosen to accompany the apostle Paul and Barnabas (see Acts 15:22).
