     Now Barnabus was determined to take them with John called Mark. But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to work. Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabus took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
