32Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, further encouraged the them by many an address, and strengthened their faith.
33After some stay, they were dismissed with kind farewells from the followers, and returned to those who had sent them.
35Paul and Barnabas, however, remained in Antioch, where they taught and, with the help of many others, told the good news of the Lord's message.
36Some time after this, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the Lord's followers in every town in which we have told the Lord's message, and see how they are prospering.”
37Barnabas wished to take with them John, whose other name was Mark;
38but Paul felt that they ought not to take with them the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to their work.
