And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem
Two of Beza's exemplars, the Complutensian edition and the Syriac
version, add, "unto Antioch"; and certain it is, that from thence
they were sent, and thither they returned, for we find them there
in the beginning of the next chapter:
when they had fulfilled their ministry;
which was the carrying the relief, or the money collected by the
Christians at Antioch, for the brethren in Judea, on account of
the famine that was there:
and took with them John, whose surname was
Mark:
the son of Mary, at whose house the disciples were met together,
and praying; and where Peter first went, after he was delivered
from prison, ( Acts 12:12 ) him they
brought with them from Jerusalem to Antioch, being a kinsman of
Barnabas; and a man of promising gifts and usefulness, and judged
to be a fit companion with them in their travels, for the spread
of the Gospel.
