35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming with many others the word of the Lord.
36 After some time, Paul said to Barnabas, “Come, let us make a return visit to see how the brothers are getting on in all the cities where we proclaimed the word of the Lord.”
37 Barnabas wanted to take with them also John, who was called Mark,
38 but Paul insisted that they should not take with them someone who had deserted them at Pamphylia and who had not continued with them in their work.
39 So sharp was their disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
40 But Paul chose Silas and departed after being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
