Acts 15:36-41 - Paul And Barnabas Disagree And Part Company

36 Some time after, Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us go back and revisit the brothers in each of the towns where we made the Lord's message known, to see how they are doing." 37 Now Barnabas wanted to take John who was called Mark with them. 38 But Paul did not approve of taking with them a man who had deserted them in Pamphylia instead of going on with them to their work. 39 They differed so sharply about it that they separated, and Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus. 40 But Paul selected Silas and set out, the brothers commending him to the Lord's favor. 41 He traveled through Syria and Cilicia and strengthened the churches.
