Division over John Mark

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.

Acts 15:36

Let us go and visit the brethren in every city where we have preached - This was all that St. Paul designed at first; but it was not all that God designed by his journey, whose providence carried him much farther than he intended. And see how they do - How their souls prosper: how they grow in faith, hope love: what else ought to be the grand and constant inquiry in every ecclesiastical visitation? Reader, how dost thou do?
