Paul and the Other Apostles

2 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.^(A)

⁴ To Titus, my true child^[a] in the faith we share:

Grace^[b] and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.^(A)

¹³ And the other Jews joined him in this hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.

³ But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.^(A)

¹⁰ Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you have received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him.^(A)

¹⁸ Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days,^(A)

²³ As for Titus, he is my partner and coworker in your service; as for our brothers, they are messengers^[a] of the churches, the glory of Christ.^(A)

Commendation of Titus

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put in the heart of Titus the same eagerness for you that I myself have.

⁶ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?^(A)

Paul and Barnabas Separate

³⁶ After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Come, let us return and visit the brothers and sisters in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.”^{(A) 37} Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark.^{(B) 38} But Paul decided not to take with them one who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.^{(C) 39} The disagreement became so sharp that they parted company; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.
