37 E Barnabé aconselhou para que tomassem consigo a João, chamado Marcos.

38 Mas Paulo achou adequado que não tomassem consigo a aquele que desde a Panfília tinha se separado deles, e não tinha ido com eles para [aquela] obra.

39 Houve então [entre eles] tal discórdia, que eles se separaram um do outro; e Barnabé, tomando consigo a Marcos, navegou para o Chipre.

40 Mas Paulo, escolhendo a Silas, partiu-se, enviado pelos irmãos para a graça de Deus.

41 E ele passou pela Síria e Cilícia, firmando as igrejas.
