Paul and Barnabas Separate
36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, āLet us return and visit
1the brothers
2in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are. ā
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4who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.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,
40
but Paul chose Silas and departed,
7having been commended by
8the brothers to
9the grace of the Lord.
41
And he went through Syria and Cilicia,
10strengthening the churches.
