77 Acts 15:39 Barnabas restored John Mark, a youthful deserter. John Mark was also his nephew. Barnabas had used his influence to take John Mark with them on their first missionary journey as their assistant. Mark defected before the journey was half over (Acts 13:13). Because of his defection a strong argument (almost to the point of a fist fight) arose between Paul and Barnabas when Mark asked to go with them on their second missionary journey. Barnabas argued that Mark should go and Paul did not think this was wise. As a result Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus and Paul chose Silas and went through Syria and Cilicia (Acts 15:39-40). “Paul thought of the work, Barnabas of the man. Paul operated on the principle-- why endanger the work by the presence of a man who failed us last time? Barnabas thought, Why should not this promising young man be given another chance? Who was right will be debated through time. Perhaps the attitudes of both men were needed to do a job in depth on Mark. Paul’s refusal made Mark realize that he would somehow have to redeem himself. Barnabas’ encouragement, shown by his willingness to take Mark along even if it meant rupturing Paul’s friendship, made Mark badly want to prove himself. Barnabas’ willingness to give Mark another chance helped rescue him from his desertion. Barnabas saw Mark’s potential for the ministry, which otherwise might have been wasted. Even if Mark were not prepared for the discipline of Paul’s second missionary journey, Barnabas’ gentler handling prepared him to become a good traveling companion for the Apostle Peter. Paul later acknowledged the merit of Mark, writing from prison in his last recorded letter, ‘Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry.’” (II Tim. 4:11) 11 Acts 5:31-32 Judas and Silas, both prophets, exercised their gift of exhortation in delivering the verdict of the Jerusalem council to the church at Antioch. Acts 11:23 The Jerusalem church sent Barnabas to exhort the believers at Antioch. Acts 14: 21-22 After starting several new churches on his first missionary journey, Paul retraced his steps to encourage the believers. Acts 16:40 As Paul left the believers at Philippi where he had suffered cruel beatings and imprisonment, he comforted the new Christians there. Acts 20:1 After experiencing a two-hour mob uproar at Ephesus, Paul comforted the Ephesian elders. Acts 20:17-35 Paul gave a farewell speech which was filled with exhortation to the Ephesian elders on his final visit. I Peter 5:1-2 Peter exhorted the elders. He had earlier been commissioned by Jesus to be an exhorter (Lk. 22:32).
