Acts 15:36‑40• 36But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, and see how they are getting on.
 37And Barnabas proposed to take with them John also, called Mark;
 38but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, going back from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.
 39There arose therefore very warm feeling, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas taking Mark sailed away to Cyprus;
 40but Paul having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren to the grace of God. (Acts 15:36‑40)

Besides those things that are without, the crowd of cares pressing on me daily, the burdene of all the assemblies.

JND Translation Notes

+
e
"Burden" here means any solicitude or anxiety, but "care" misleads, because it conveys the idea of taking care of, which is not the sense. Same word as "anxious care," Matt. 13.22, and "care," 1 Pet. 5.7.

W. Kelly Translation

+
28
Apart from things withouta, my pressing careb day by day, the concern for all the assemblies.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Or, "besides."
b
There is little doubt that an early confusion crept into the text, and that the true word here is one signifying "urgent attention," as in {vi 27782}{/vi} were it is rather one signifying "faction" or "tumultuous concourse."
