Acts 15:36-41 - Paul And Barnabas Disagree And Part Company
36 Some days later, Paul said to Barnabas, "Come and let us go back to visit the brothers in every town where we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they are doing." 37 But while Barnabas wanted to take John (who was called Mark) along with them, 38 Paul held they should not take a man with them who had deserted them in Pamphylia, instead of accompanying them on active service. 39 So in irritation they parted company, Barnabas taking Mark with him and sailing for Cyprus, 40 while Paul selected Silas and went off, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41 He made his way through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
