Acts 15:36-41
Disagreement Between Paul and Barnabas
36Now after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brothers in aevery city in which we proclaimed bthe word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37And Barnabas wanted to take aJohn, called Mark, along with them also. 38But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had adeserted them 1in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39And there was such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took aMark with him and sailed away to bCyprus. 40But Paul chose aSilas and left, being bcommitted by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41And he was traveling through aSyria and bCilicia, strengthening the churches.
