Apostlenes gjerninger 15,38

PaulPamphylia
Conflict and reconciliation

36 En tid senere sa Paulus til Barnabas: "La oss vende tilbake og besøke de troende i alle byene hvor vi forkynte Herrens ord og se hvordan de har det."

37 Barnabas var tilbøyelig til å ta med Johannes, også kalt Markus, med dem.

Men Paulus syntes ikke det var klokt å ta ham med, fordi han hadde forlatt dem i Pamfylia og ikke hadde fortsatt med dem i arbeidet.

39 Deres uenighet var så intens at de skilte lag. Barnabas tok Markus og seilte til Kypros,

40 men Paulus valgte Silas og dro av sted, anbefalt av de troende til Herrens nåde.
