25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, taking along with them John, who was also called Mark.
Act_12:25 This begins the account of Paul's missionary journeys. There is a textual variant in this verse relating to whether they returned "to" Jerusalem (cf. eis, MSS and B) or "from" Jerusalem (cf. apo, MS D or ek, MSS P74, A). Acts 13 begins with Barnabas and Saul in Antioch ("from Jerusalem to Antioch," cf. MS E and Old Latin, Syrian, and Coptic versions).
