Acts 15:37

Paul’s Second Missionary Journey Begins

36Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the brothers in every town where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”37Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.38But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
