Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
