Atos 15:37 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:37

And Barnabas determined
Or consulted, and contrived in his own mind, and purposed within himself; the Alexandrian copy, and two of Beza's, the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions read, "he would", or was willing; he had a mind, a very great desire,

to take with them John, whose surname was Mark;
of whom see ( Acts 12:12 ) he being his sister's son, ( Colossians 4:10 ) him they brought with them to Antioch, when they returned from Jerusalem thither, where they had been sent by the church at Antioch, with money for the relief of the poor saints; see ( Acts 11:29 Acts 11:30 ) ( 12:25 ) and who seems to have come with them from Jerusalem again; for thither he went, when he parted from them at Pamphylia, ( Acts 13:13 ) .

Atos 15:37 In-Context

35 Mas Paulo e Barnabé demoraram-se em Antioquia, ensinando e pregando com muitos outros a palavra do Senhor.

36 Decorridos alguns dias, disse Paulo a Barnabé: Tornemos a visitar os irmãos por todas as cidades em que temos anunciado a palavra do Senhor, para ver como vão.

37 Ora, Barnabé queria que levassem também a João, chamado Marcos.

38 Mas a Paulo não parecia razoável que tomassem consigo aquele que desde a Panfília se tinha apartado deles e não os tinha acompanhado no trabalho.

39 E houve entre eles tal desavença que se separaram um do outro, e Barnabé, levando consigo a Marcos, navegou para Chipre.
