Acts 15:36-39

Paul and Barnabas Separate

36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit ¹the brothers ²in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are. ”

37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them ³John called Mark.

38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one ⁴who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

39 And there arose ⁵a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. ⁶Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
