Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

³⁶ But after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every place where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing. ³⁷ And Barnabas gave counsel to take with them John, called also Mark. ³⁸ But Paul did not think it good to take him into their company, who had departed from them at Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work. ³⁹ And the dissension was so sharp between them that they separated one from the other. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus, ⁴⁰ and Paul chose Silas and departed, committed by the brethren to the grace of God. ⁴¹ And he went through all Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
