36 After a few days, Paul suggested to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit the believers in each city where we proclaimed the master’s message, and see how they’re doing.” 37 Barnabas agreed and wanted to take Yohan Markos (John Mark) along with them as well, 38 but Paul didn’t want to take him because he had left them in Pamfylia instead of continuing with them in their work. 39 And so it turned into such a disagreement that the two of them each went their different ways. Barnabas took Yohan Markos with him and sailed to Cyprus 40 while Paul chose Silas and they left after being entrusted to the master’s grace by the believers. 41 They went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies there.
