Context of Acts 15:35

33After spending some time there, they were sent back by the brothers with [the greeting of] peace to those who had sent them. 34[However, Silas decided to stay there.] But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, and with many others also continued teaching and proclaiming the good news, the word of the Lord [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ]. 36After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the brothers and sisters (believers) in every city where we preached the message of the Lord, and see how they are doing.” 37Now Barnabas wanted to take [his cousin] John, who was called Mark, along with them.
