And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit our brethren in every city, where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are. And Barnabas proposed to take with them John, who was surnamed Mark. But Paul did not think proper to take him with them, who left them in Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.read more.

For this is the word of the promise, "According to this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son:" and not to her only; but Rebecca also being with child by our father Isaac, (when the children were not yet born, nor had done either good or evil, that the purpose of God according to his choice might abide, not on account of works, but of Him that calleth,) it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger: as it is written, "I loved Jacob and I hated Esau." What shall we say then? Is there injustice in God? God forbid! For He saith to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. And the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, for this very purpose have I raised thee up, that I may shew forth my power in thee, and that my name may be declared through all the earth. So then He hath mercy on whom He pleaseth, and whom He will, He hardeneth. Thou wilt say then, Why doth he yet blame us? who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou, that disputest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, out of the same mass to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor? And what if God, though resolved to shew his displeasure at last, and to make known his power, yet bore with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction? and that He might make known the riches of his glory in the vessels of mercy, which He hath prepared for glory? whom He hath also called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?
