Saints fighting When Paul and Barnabas left on the first missionary journey, Mark went with them. (Acts 13:4-5) But Mark left early. (Acts 13:13) Mark must have gotten Paul mad at him, because Paul refused to bring him on the next trip. (Acts 15:36-40)
Bros again But don’t worry, there is a happy ending to this story. They must have patched things up, because Paul asked Mark to visit him in prison. (2 Timothy 4:11) Mark may have been present when Paul was martyred.
