Summary for Acts 13:13-14: 13:13-14 ^a They landed at the port of Perga. From here, major roads opened into the interior beyond the Taurus Mountains.

• At this point, John Mark left the team for reasons that are not stated (see study note on 15:36-41). Possibly he was unhappy that the Good News was moving out into Gentile lands; possibly he was homesick or otherwise unable to continue a difficult journey. Whatever the reason, he returned to the more familiar and comfortable Jewish surroundings of Jerusalem.
