Paul asked Barnabas to go again and visit the churches where they had preached the gospel. Barnabas was determined to take John Mark with him but Paul thought it not good to take him since he had abandoned them in Pamphylia (ACT 13:13) and did not went with them to the work. Barnabas took this badly that such an infamy should lie upon his sister's son. (COL 4:10) The contention was so sharp that they departed one from the other. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to his own country of Cyprus but Paul who was commended to the grace of God, chose Silas and went into Syria and Cilicia and confirmed the brethren. (ACT 15:36-41)
