Acts 15:32-41

32 ¹Judas and ²Silas, also being ³prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened ⁴the brethren with a lengthy message.

33 After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brethren ⁵in peace to those who had ⁶sent them out.

34 [But it seemed good to Silas to remain there.]

35 But ⁷Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and ⁸preaching with many others also, ⁹the word of the Lord.

Second Missionary Journey

36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return and visit the brethren in ¹⁰every city in which we proclaimed ¹¹the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

37 Barnabas wanted to take ¹²John, called Mark, along with them also.

38 But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had ¹³deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

39 And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took ¹⁴Mark with him and sailed away to ¹⁵Cyprus.

40 But Paul chose ¹⁶Silas and left, being ¹⁷committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

41 And he was traveling through ¹⁸Syria and ¹⁹Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
