Acts 15:31-41

31 After reading it, the people were delighted by its encouragement.
32 Y'hudah and Sila, who were also prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were sent off with a greeting of "Shalom!" from the brothers to those who had sent them.
35 But Sha'ul and Bar-Nabba stayed in Antioch, where they and many others taught and proclaimed the Good News of the message about the Lord.
36 After some time, Sha'ul said to Bar-Nabba, "Let's go back and visit the brothers in all the towns where we proclaimed the message about the Lord, and see how they're doing."
37 Now Bar-Nabba wanted to take with them Yochanan, the one called Mark.
38 But Sha'ul thought it would be unwise to take this man with them, since he had gone off and left them in Pamphylia to do the work by themselves.
39 There was such sharp disagreement over this that they separated from each other, with Bar-Nabba taking Mark and sailing off to Cyprus.
40 However, Sha'ul chose Sila and left, after the brothers had committed him to the love and kindness of the Lord.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
