Acts 15:36-41 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us go back and visit the brothers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing." 37 Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, 38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. 39 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

Acts 15. Paul and Barnabas split over the issue of Mark. Apparently, Mark abandoned the mission and that stuck in Paul's craw. Barnabas wanted to take Mark with them on their next journey. Paul was opposed to this, probably thinking that Mark wasn't ready in a spiritual way, to continue the missionary work. Barnabas took Mark and went to Cyprus. Paul chose Silas and they went their way.
Act 15:36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Indeed, having turned back, let us look after our brothers throughout every city in which we announced the Word of the Lord, how they are holding it.
Act 15:37 But Barnabas purposed to take John with them, the one having been called Mark.
Act 15:38 But Paul thought it well not to take that one with them, he having withdrawn from them from Pamphylia, and not going with them to the work.
Act 15:39 Then there was sharp feeling, so as to separate them from each other. And taking Mark, Barnabas sailed away to Cyprus.

Hindshot! GOD sent Missionaries forth not back! Paul did well and so did Barnabas!
