Acts 15:32
Being prophets - See the notes on Acts 11:27. This evidently implies that they had been preachers before they went to Antioch. What was the precise nature of the office of a prophet in the Christian church it is not easy to ascertain. Possibly it may imply that they were teachers of unusual or remark able ability. Compare the notes on Romans 12:6.
Confirmed them - Strengthened them; that is, by their instructions and exhortations. See the notes on Acts 14:22.
