Acts 15:35-41

³⁵But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.

³⁶Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”

³⁷Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.

³⁸But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.

³⁹They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.

⁴⁰Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.

⁴¹Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
