Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 12:25

_ _ Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem — where, it thus appears, they had remained during all this persecution.

_ _ when they had fulfilled their ministry — or service; that mentioned on Acts 11:29, Acts 11:30.

_ _ took with them John ... Mark — (See on Acts 12:12), not to be confounded with the second Evangelist, as is often done. As his uncle was Barnabas, so his spiritual father was Peter (1 Peter 5:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 12:20-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 12:25

Saul returned — To Antioch; taking John, surnamed Mark — The son of Mary, (at whose house the disciples met, to pray for Peter,) who was sister to Barnabas.
