<p class="bodytext">So Barnabas and Saul returned to<n id="1" /> Jerusalem<n id="2" /> when they had completed<n id="3" /> their mission,<n id="4" /> bringing along with them John Mark.<n id="5" />p>

to assume the task<n id="1" /> of this service<n id="2" /> and apostleship from which Judas turned aside<n id="3" /> to go to his own place.&#8221;<n id="4" />
