The John Mark controversy has raised many debates regarding the relationship between Barnabas and Paul after the disagreement. Indeed, after their separation following disagreement, their story ended in the record of Acts, and there is no scripture that declares or proves their reconciliation. However, Scripture only says that they both obtained favor in their active ministry after the dispute. John Mark was named in the book of Acts as an assistant to Barnabas and Paul, when he accompanied them on one of their missionary journeys. According to Acts 12:25, the Bible states that “When Barnabas and Saul had completed their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark. » There was an argument between Paul and Barnabas after John returned to Jerusalem, leaving them on their first missionary journey and Paul considered him unreliable, while Barnabas still wanted him to accompany them. There was a controversy between Paul and Barnabas regarding John Mark. This controversy is recorded in the book of Acts 15:37-40 and it says: "Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had them abandoned in Pamphylia. and had not continued with them in the work. They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted with Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, recommended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. and Paul went to Salamis to proclaim the word of God. John Mark was with them and helped them spread the good news. However, when they were ready to sail from Paphos to Pergia, he left them and returned to Jerusalem.

I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my age among my people and I was exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers But when God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me by his grace. , wanted to reveal his Son in me so that I could preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. is focused on preaching the gospel of Christ.
