From Jerusalem (ec Ierousalhm). Probably correct text, though D has apo. Westcott and Hort follow Aleph B in reading eiv (to) Jerusalem, an impossible reading contradicted by Acts 11:29 f.; Acts 13:1. The ministration (diakonian) referred to is that in Acts 11:29 f. which may have taken place, in point of time, after the death of Herod.
Taking with them (sunparalabontev). Taking along (para) with (sun) them, John Mark from Jerusalem (Acts 12:12) to Antioch (Acts 13:1). The aorist participle does not express subsequent action as Rackham here argues (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 861-863).
