Acts 15:32-39 in Translation for Translators

32 Just like Paul and Barnabas were ◄ prophets/men who spoke messages from God►, Judas and Silas were also prophets. They spoke for a long time and encouraged the believers there, and helped them to trust more strongly in the Lord Jesus.
33 After Judas and Silas had stayed in Antioch for some time and were ready to return to Jerusalem , the believers there wished them well, and the believers prayed that God would protect them as they traveled. So the two men started to go back to the leaders in Jerusalem who had asked them to go to Antioch .
35 However, Paul and Barnabas continued to stay in Antioch. While they were there, they, along with many others, were teaching people and preaching to them the message about the Lord Jesus.
36 After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the fellow believers in every city where we previously proclaimed the message about the Lord Jesus. In that way, we will know how well they are continuing to believe in the Lord Jesus.”
37 Barnabas agreed with Paul, and said that he wanted to take John, whose other name was Mark, along with them again.
38 However, Paul told Barnabas that he thought that it would not be good to take Mark with them, because Mark had deserted them when they were previously in Pamphylia region, and had not continued to work with them.
39 Paul and Barnabas strongly disagreed with each other about that, so they separated. Barnabas took Mark along with him and they got on a ship and went to Cyprus.

33 After that Judas and Silas got up to go back to the church in Jerusalem. The Antioch Christians said to them, “We are happy for you to go back, and we pray you will have a good trip.”
34 But Paul and Barnabas stayed there in Antioch, and they taught the people and told them the message from God about Jesus. A lot of other Christians helped them to do that.
36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “You know all those towns we went to before, where we told the people the message from God about Jesus, well, let’s go back and find out if the Christians are all right.”
37 Barnabas said, “Yes. And let’s take John Mark with us.”
38 But Paul didn’t think that was a good idea. He said, “John Mark went with us before, but he didn’t stay with us. In Pamphylia country he left us and went home.”
