BASIC SCRIPTURES: ACTS 15: 35-41; 2 TIMOTHY 4: 11
Basic Scriptures:
- Acts 15:35-41:
In this passage, Paul and Barnabas continued to strengthen the churches, but a sharp disagreement over John Mark caused them to part ways. Barnabas took John Mark with him, while Paul chose Silas to accompany him on his journey. Despite the disagreement, God’s work continued through both teams. - 2 Timothy 4:11:
Paul, in his final letter, writes that only Luke is with him and asks Timothy to bring John Mark, for he is useful to him in the ministry. This shows reconciliation and the restoration of John Mark’s relationship with Paul.
