<< Acts 15:22 Acts 15:24 >>
Acts 15:23
And wrote letters - Greek: "Having written." It does not mean that they wrote more than one epistle.
By them - Greek: by their hand."
After this manner - Greek: these things.
Send greeting - A word of salutation, expressing their desire of the happiness ( ́ chairein ) of the persons addressed. Compare Matthew 26:49; Matthew 27:29; Luke 1:28; John 19:3.
In Antioch - Where the difficulty first arose.
And Syria - Antioch was the capital of Syria, and it is probable that the dispute was not confined to the capital.
And Cilicia - See the notes on Acts 6:9. Cilicia was adjacent to Syria. Paul and Barnabas had traveled through it, and it is probable that the same difficulty would exist there which had disturbed the churches in Syria.
