ACTS 12:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.”
When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.'—the chapter closes with Barnabas and Saul's return from the relief mission (11:30), now accompanied by John Mark. The return journey echoes the outbound journey; Mark's inclusion foreshadows his role as Paul's co-worker (and eventual gospel-writer). The seamless transition from Herod's death to mission continuation suggests the gospel's unstoppable momentum.
