Acts 15:2
_ _ Paul and Barnabas — now the recognized heads of the Church at Antioch.
_ _ had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined — that is, the church did.
_ _ that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them — Titus was one (Galatians 2:1); probably as an uncircumcised Gentile convert endowed with the gifts of the Spirit. He is not mentioned in the Acts, but only in Second Corinthians, Galatians, Second Timothy, and the Epistle addressed to him [Alford].
_ _ should go up to Jerusalem ... about this question — That such a deputation should be formally dispatched by the Church of Antioch was natural, as it might be called the mother church of Gentile Christianity. |
Acts 15:2
They (the brethren) determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others should go up to Jerusalem about this question — This is the journey to which St. Paul refers, Galatians 2:1-2, when he says he went up by revelation: which is very consistent with this; for the Church in sending them might be directed by a revelation made either immediately to St. Paul, or to some other person, relating to so important an affair. Important indeed it was, that these Jewish impositions should be solemnly opposed in time; because multitudes of converts were still zealous for the law, and ready to contend for the observance of it. Indeed many of the Christians of Antioch would have acquiesced in the determination of Paul alone. But as many others might have prejudices against him, for his having been so much concerned for the Gentiles, it was highly expedient to take the concurrent judgment of all the apostles on this occasion. |
Acts 15:2
(2) When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
(2) Meetings of congregations were instituted to suppress heresies, to which certain were sent by common consent on behalf of all. |
