Acts 15:38

Paul held they should not take a man with them who had deserted them in Pamphylia, instead of accompanying them on active service.

Setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions reached Perga in Pamphylia; John left them and went back to Jerusalem,

Another man also said to him, "I will follow you, Lord. But let me first say good-bye to my people at home."

whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me, he cannot be a disciple of mine.

double-minded creature that he is, wavering at every turn.
