36 Some time later Paul said
to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns
where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.”
37 Barnabas wanted to take
John, also called Mark, with them,
38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him,
because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with
them in the work.
39 They
had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took
Mark and sailed for Cyprus,
40
but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace
of the Lord.
41 He went
through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Paul and Barnabas quarreled over John - Paul didn't want to take John with them while Barnabas wanted to take John along with them. The two must have argued badly that they decided to separate ways. This is quite a surprise.
