33 Judas and Silas stayed there awhile, then were sent back with a blessing of peace from the brothers and sisters to those who first sent them.
35 Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, where, together with many others, they taught and proclaimed the good news of the Lord’s word.
36 Some time later, Paul said to Barnabas, "Let’s go back and visit all the brothers and sisters in every city where we preached the Lord’s word. Let’s see how they are doing."
37 Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them.
38 Paul insisted that they shouldn’t take him along, since he had deserted them in Pamphylia and hadn’t continued with them in their work.
39 Their argument became so intense that they went their separate ways. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
40 Paul chose Silas and left, entrusted by the brothers and sisters to the Lord’s grace.
