Acts 15:36-41

Paul and Barnabas Disagree and Part Company

36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, "Come then,[let us] return [and] visit the brothers in every town in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [to see] how they are [doing]."
37 Now Barnabas wanted to take John who was called Mark along also,
38 but Paul held the opinion they should not take this one along, who departed from them in Pamphylia and did not accompany them in the work.
39 And a sharp disagreement took place, so that they separated from one another. And Barnabas took along Mark [and] sailed away to Cyprus,
40 but Paul chose Silas [and] departed, [after] being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.
41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
