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

36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare." 37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was called Mark. 38 But Paul thought it unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to the work. 39 So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus; 40 while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God. 41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
