35Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. 36¶ And some dayes after, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs go againe and visit our brethren, in euery city where we haue preached the word of the Lord, and see how they doe. 37And Barnabas determined to take with them Iohn, whose surname was Marke. 38But Paul thought not good to take him with them; who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke. 39And the contention was so sharpe betweene them, that they departed asunder one from the other: & so Barnabas tooke Marke, & sailed vnto Cyprus.
