4d. Judas Barsabas

[keet007]

[dave1948]

Thank you Kettledrum Can't work out Barsabas

[mazie]

I thought it was double BB kettledrum?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Smyrna (7 churches in Rev.)?

[kettledrum]

4d is a down clue, so 'a' supports 'bars' (obstructs) + BAs (degrees)

[keet007]

Think that should be BarNabus ?

[keet007]

Try again BARNABAS

[dave1948]

Thank you all

Given Barsabas looks right I now have
21a as J?N???B

Ican't see anyhing (clue as above)

[dave1948]
