The meeting at Jerusalem concludes by writing a letter for the Gentile church with four recommendations for the Gentiles in order that they might get along better with their Jewish brothers and sisters. Paul and Barnabas decide to revisit some of the places they have been. Barnabas wants to take John Mark along but Paul refuses. The disagreement is so big they part ways and go separately.

Daily Bible Reading Day 191
Job 40-42; Acts 15:22-41. God comes to a spot where Job answers and admits he knows nothing compared to God. God then continues to remind Job of His power and might through the Behemoth and the Leviathan. Job answers again and repents. God restores Job's family and fortune. God tells the three that if they want to remain on his good grace they should bring a burnt offering and ask Job to pray for them. They do. Job has twice what he had before. Someone reminded me a few days ago that even though Job's wife had advised him earlier to curse God and die, she is still here with him and has a new set of children with him.
