This only allusion in the Acts to what is dwelt upon so frequently in his own Epistles (Romans 15:25, Romans 15:26; 1 Corinthians 16:1-4; 2 Corinthians 8:1-4), throws a beautiful light on the truth of this History. (See Paley’s Horae Paulinae).

_ _ and offerings — connected with his Jewish vow: see Acts 24:18.
