Acts 15:32–41

32 And hJudas and Silas, being oprophets also themselves, pexhorted the brethren with many words, and qconfirmed them. 33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go rin peace from the brethren unto the apostles. 34 Notwithstanding it pleased sSilas to abide there still. 35 tPaul also and Barnabas continued in nAntioch, teaching and upreaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

36 *And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren xin every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do. 37 And Barnabas determined to take with them yJohn, whose surname was Mark. 38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, zwho departed from them from aPamphylia, and went not with them to the work. 39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so bBarnabas took yMark, and sailed unto cCyprus; 40 And Paul chose dSilas, and departed, being erecommended by the brethren unto fthe grace of God. 41 And he went through gSyria and Cilicia, hconfirming the churches.
