Barnabas was planning to take along John, called Mark.
When he realized this, he went to the house of Miriam, the mother of John (also called Mark), where many were assembled together and praying.
So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
Luke is the only one with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You received instructions about him—if he comes your way, welcome him.)
When they arrived at Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as a helper.
And Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, taking along John (who was also called Mark).
Setting sail from Paphos, Paul’s company came to Perga in Pamphylia. John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
A sharp disagreement took place, so that they split off from one another. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.
Messiah’s community in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings. So does my son Mark.
