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But Paul thought best not to take with them one 4who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.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