Book of Common Prayer
36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Having returned, let us now visit the brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord to see how they are having[a] things”. 37 And Barnabas was wanting to also take along John with them, the one being called Mark. 38 But Paul was considering-it-fitting that they not be taking-along-with them this one having withdrawn[b] from them since Pamphylia, and not having gone with them to the work. 39 And a disagreement took-place, so that they were separated from one another. And Barnabas, having taken along Mark, sailed-off to Cyprus[c].
Paul And Silas Revisit The Churches From Paul’s First Journey. Timothy Joins Them
40 And Paul, having chosen[d] Silas[e], went forth, having been handed-over to the grace of the Lord by the brothers. 41 And he was going[f] through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches. 16 1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there— Timothy by name, the son of a believing Jewish woman[g], but of a Greek father— 2 who was being attested by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wanted this one to go forth with him. And having taken him, he circumcised him because of the Jews being in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 And as they were proceeding through the cities, they were delivering[h] to them the decrees[i] to be keeping[j] having been determined[k] by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. 5 So indeed the churches were being made-firm in the faith and were abounding in number daily.
At The Passover, Everyone Was Looking For Jesus
55 Now the Passover [Feast] of the Jews was near. And many went up to Jerusalem from the country[a] before the Passover [Feast], in order that they might purify themselves. 56 So they were seeking Jesus, and saying, standing with one another in the temple, “What seems right to you— that He will by no means come to the Feast?” 57 And the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commands that if anyone came-to-know where He was, he should disclose it— so that they might seize Him.
In Bethany At a Dinner For Jesus And Lazarus, Mary Anoints Jesus
12 Therefore Jesus, six days before the Passover [Feast], came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one whom Jesus raised from the dead. 2 So they made a dinner for Him there. And Martha was serving. And Lazarus was one of the ones reclining-back [to eat] with Him. 3 Then Mary, having taken a pound of very-valuable genuine[b] nard perfume, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled from the aroma of the perfume. 4 But Judas the Iscariot— one of His disciples, the one going to hand Him over— says, 5 “For what reason was this perfume not sold for three-hundred denarii[c] and given to poor ones?” 6 Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief. And having the money-box, he was carrying[d] the things being put there. 7 So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. It was[e] in order that she might keep it for the day of My preparation-for-burial. 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me”.
