In Acts 12:25, which two individuals are named as returning from Jerusalem?

• A. Peter and John
• B. Barnabas and Saul
• C. Paul and Silas
• D. James and Peter

Answer: (B)

The main idea this verse tests is recognizing the two people named as returning from Jerusalem after finishing their assigned work. Acts 12:25 specifically says that Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, bringing John Mark with them. This shows Barnabas and Saul as a team from the church at Antioch who went to Jerusalem to help and report on their ministry, then came back to Antioch with Mark accompanying them. Saul is the same person later known as Paul, so you’re seeing the early pairing that leads into their subsequent missionary work together.

Other names in the options aren’t described in this verse as returning from Jerusalem, so they don’t fit this particular moment.
