Acts 15:37-40 in English

³⁷ And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.

³⁸ But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁹ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus:

⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

³⁷ And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

³⁸ But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁹ And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

⁴⁰ And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

³⁷ And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.

³⁸ But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁹ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus;

⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

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.

⁴⁰ Paul chose Silas, who had returned to Antioch, to work with him. The believers there asked the Lord God to graciously help Paul and Silas. Then the two of them departed from Antioch.

³⁷ Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

³⁸ But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

³⁹ Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

³⁷ Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

³⁸ But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

³⁹ Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

³⁷ Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

³⁸ But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

³⁹ Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

³⁷ And Barnabas had a desire to take with them John, named Mark.

³⁸ But Paul was of the opinion that it was not right to take with them one who had gone away from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with the work.

³⁹ And there was a sharp argument between them, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and went by ship to Cyprus;

⁴⁰ But Paul took Silas and went away with the blessing of the brothers.

³⁷ And Barnabas proposed to take with them John also, called Mark;

³⁸ but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, going back from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

³⁹ There arose therefore very warm feeling, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas taking Mark sailed away to Cyprus;

⁴⁰ but Paul having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren to the grace of God.

³⁷ And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;

³⁸ But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.

³⁹ And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.

⁴⁰ But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.

³⁷ But Barnabas desired to take along with them John called Mark.

³⁸ But Paul considered it fitting not to take along with them the one who withdrew from them in Pamphylia, and who had not gone together with them to the work.

³⁹ Therefore a sharp disagreement arose so that they were separated from one another. And Barnabas, taking along Mark, sailed to Cyprus.

⁴⁰ But Paul, choosing Silas, departed, being given over to the grace of God by the brothers.

³⁷ Now Barnabas resolved to take John (the one called Mark) along as well.

³⁸ But Paul insisted on not taking someone who had deserted them in Pamphilia and not gone with them to the work.

³⁹ Well the contention became so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;

⁴⁰ while Paul chose Silas and set out, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

³⁷ Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.

³⁸ But 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.

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

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

³⁷ And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.

³⁸ But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.

³⁹ Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.

⁴⁰ And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.

³⁸ But Paul did not think it proper to take with them a man who had left them in Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁹ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted from each other, and Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.

⁴⁰ And Paul chose Silas and went forth, having been commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

³⁷ Barnabas wished to take with them John, whose other name was Mark;

³⁸ but 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.

³⁹ This caused such unpleasant feeling between them that they parted ways, Barnabas taking Mark and sailing for Cyprus,

⁴⁰ while Paul chose Silas for his companion and, after he had been committed by the followers to the gracious care of the Lord,

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.”

³⁹ Paul and Barnabas didn’t agree with each other about Mark, and they had a big argument. They got very upset with each other, so they each went a different way. Barnabas and John Mark got on a ship and went to the island called Cyprus.

⁴⁰ But Paul picked Silas to go with him. The Antioch Christians asked God to look after Paul and Silas, then those 2 men left there and went through Syria and Cilicia countries. In every place Paul talked to the Christians and helped them to be strong for Jesus.
