Acts 15:33-40

33After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brothers and sisters 1in peace to those who had 2sent them out.3 35But 4Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and 5preaching 6the word of the Lord, with many others also.

36After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return and visit the brothers and sisters in 7every city in which we proclaimed 8the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37Barnabas wanted to take 9John, called Mark, along with them also. 38But Paul was of the opinion that they should not take along with them this man who had 10deserted them 11in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39Now it turned into such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took 12Mark with him and sailed away to 13Cyprus. 40But Paul chose 14Silas, and left after being 15entrusted by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
