36
Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
12
Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
5
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
13
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
37
Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38
But Paul didn't think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn't go with them to do the work.
39
Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
29
The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel.
4
These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
2
Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
2
that you receive her in the Lord, in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.
7
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
21
Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
22
I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.
23
Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
10
Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, "if he comes to you, receive him"),
11
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
24
as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
13
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
8
Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
9
Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn't have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
Probablement l'évangéliste. (Comparer Actes 12.12,25 ; 13.13 ; 15.37-39 ; 2Timothée 4.11 ; Philémon 1.24)
Nous voyons ici que Marc était cousin de Barnabas, ce qui explique bien des choses dans la contestation qui s'éleva un jour entre ce dernier et Paul au sujet de ce même Marc. (Actes 15.37-39)
Mais nous voyons ici, par les paroles affectueuses de l'apôtre, qui avait Marc auprès de lui dans sa captivité, que depuis longtemps ce souvenir était effacé de son cœur.
On ne sait pas quels étaient ces ordres. Quelques-uns ont pensé qu'il s'agissait de ce qui suit immédiatement, c'est-à-dire de le bien recevoir s'il allait à Colosses, ce qui est peu probable.
Si certaines personnes ont été coupables d'une faute, celle-ci ne doit pas être retenue en permanence contre eux. Nous devons oublier toute rancœur, et aussi pardonner !
L'apôtre était réconforté dans sa communion avec les saints et les serviteurs du Seigneur. L'un était son compagnon de service, l’autre son compagnon de captivité, tous « travaillaient à leur propre salut », et s'efforçaient de promouvoir celui des autres.
La prière fervente est efficace et vraiment profitable. Les sourires, les flatteries, ou l'air désapprobateur du monde, l'esprit d'erreur, ou l'amour de soi, conduisent de nombreux serviteurs de Dieu dans des sentiers où leurs prédications et leur mode de vie sont bien éloignés du ministère qu’ils devraient tenir...
Mais ceux qui prêchent la même doctrine que Paul, en suivant son exemple, peuvent s’attendre à la faveur et aux bénédictions divines !
