The document discusses Mark, who initially quit a missionary journey with Paul and Barnabas but later rejoined them, as shown through several Bible passages. It notes that Mark started well but quit halfway through the mission to Acts 13:13. However, later passages like Colossians 4:10 and Philemon 1:24 indicate that Mark had come back, with 2 Timothy 4:11 suggesting that Mark was now profitable to Paul for ministry work.

Came Back
• Mark started with great advantage,
opportunity and promise
• But part way through the mission, Mark
quit and went home (Acts 13:13)
• However, the rest of Mark’s story is simply
this: he was a quitter who finally came
back

Look at what Paul said of him later…
Colossians 4:10
Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's
son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he
come unto you, receive him;)
Philemon 1:24
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow labourers.
2 Timothy 4:11
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is
profitable to me for the ministry.
