Colossians 4:10-11

COLOSSIANS—NOTE ON Colossians 4:10 Mark the cousin of Barnabas. This is the same person as “John Mark.” He went with Paul on his first missionary journey, but suddenly left (Acts 13:13). Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement about taking him again (Acts 15:39). Paul’s view of Mark has changed, probably because Mark has changed. Now Mark ministers with Paul again. Jesus who is called Justus is otherwise unknown. men of the circumcision. Jewish Christians.
