Acts 15:36-41

36After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return and visit the brothers and sisters in 1every city in which we proclaimed 2the word of the Lord, and see how they are.”

37Barnabas wanted to take 3John, called Mark, along with them also.

38But Paul was of the opinion that they should not take along with them this man who had 4deserted them 5in 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 6Mark with him and sailed away to 7Cyprus.

40But Paul chose 8Silas, and left after being 9entrusted by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.

41And he was traveling through 10Syria and 11Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
