36 Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.”

37 Now Barnabas was determined to take with them ^aJohn called Mark.

38 But Paul insisted that they should not take with them ^athe one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

39 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to ^aCyprus;

40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, ^abeing commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, ^astrengthening the churches.
