    Paul and Mark Later Reconciled

    Afterward Paul was reconciled to Mark. He recommended him to the Colossians as a fellow worker “for the kingdom of God” and “a comfort to me.” He spoke of Mark as profitable, “useful to me for ministry.” (Colossians 4:11; 2 Timothy 4:11.)ULe 64.5

    At Antioch in Pisidia Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath. “After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, ‘Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, give it’” (NRSV). Being invited to speak, “Paul stood up, and with a gesture began to speak: ‘You Israelites, and others who fear God, listen.’” Then he proceeded to give a history of how the Lord had dealt with the Jews and how He had promised a Savior. He boldly declared that “God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as He promised; before His coming John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. And as John was finishing his work, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. No, but One is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of the sandals on His feet’” (NRSV). Powerfully he preached Jesus as the Messiah of prophecy.ULe 64.6
