Acts 15:38

But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows,
Yet they turned back in the day of battle.

Like a bad tooth and an unsteady foot
Is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.

Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.”

Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
