32 Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers and strengthened them with a long message.
33 After spending some time there, they were sent back in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them.
35 But Paul and Barnabas, along with many others, remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the message of the Lord.
36 After some time had passed, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit the brothers in every town where we have preached the message of the Lord and see how they’re doing.”
37 Barnabas wanted to take along John Mark.
38 But Paul did not think it appropriate to take along this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work.
39 There was such a sharp disagreement that they parted company, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed off to Cyprus.
