37 Barnabas voulait emmener aussi Jean, surnommé Marc;

38 mais Paul jugea plus convenable de ne pas prendre avec eux celui qui les avait quittés depuis la Pamphylie, et qui ne les avait point accompagnés dans leur œuvre.

39 Ce dissentiment fut assez vif pour être cause qu’ils se séparèrent l’un de l’autre. Et Barnabas, prenant Marc avec lui, s’embarqua pour l’île de Chypre.

40 Paul fit choix de Silas, et partit, recommandé par les frères à la grâce du Seigneur.

41 Il parcourut la Syrie et la Cilicie, fortifiant les Églises.
