35But aPaul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Paul and Barnabas Separate

36And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit bthe brothers cin every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37Now Barnabas wanted to take with them dJohn called Mark. 38But Paul thought best not to take with them one ewho had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39And there arose fa sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. gBarnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 40but Paul chose Silas and departed, hhaving been commended by ithe brothers to jthe grace of the Lord. 41And he went through Syria and Cilicia, kstrengthening the churches.
