mnt@Acts:15:36 @ And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare."

mnt@Acts:15:37 @ Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was called Mark.

mnt@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul thought it unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to the work.

mnt@Acts:15:39 @ So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus;

mnt@Acts:15:40 @ while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

mnt@Acts:15:41 @ He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

mnt@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a certain disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, and of a Greek father.

mnt@Acts:16:2 @ He was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconiun.

mnt@Acts:16:3 @ Now Paul, wishing that this man should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him because of the local Jews, who all knew that his father was a Greek.

mnt@Acts:16:4 @ And as they went on their way through the cities they handed them the resolutions which the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem had ordained for them to keep.

mnt@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith and continued to increase in number daily.

mnt@Acts:16:6 @ Then they went through Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit having forbidden them to proclaim the message in Asia.

mnt@Acts:16:7 @ When they got as far as Mysia, they attempted to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it;

mnt@Acts:16:8 @ and so they passed by Mysia and went on down to Troas.

mnt@Acts:16:9 @ Here a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia, entreating him and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us!"

mnt@Acts:16:10 @ So when he had seen the vision, we sought at once to go forth into Macedonia, because we concluded that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
