207. And some days after, Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and
visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the
Lord, and see how they do. And Barnabas determined to take with them
John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with
them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them,
to the work. _And the contention was so sharp between them that they
departed asunder one from another_; and so Barnabas took Mark,
and sailed into Cyprus. And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being
recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. Acts xv. 36 to 40.
