Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 9:27

_ _ But Barnabas ... brought him to the apostles — that is, to Peter and James; for “other of the apostles saw I none,” says he fourteen years after (Galatians 1:18, Galatians 1:19). Probably none of the other apostles were there at the time (Acts 4:36). Barnabas being of Cyprus, which was within a few hours’ sail of Cilicia, and annexed to it as a Roman province, and Saul and he being Hellenistic Jews and eminent in their respective localities, they may very well have been acquainted with each other before this [Howson]. What is here said of Barnabas is in fine consistency with the “goodness” ascribed to him (Acts 11:24), and with the name “son of consolation,” given him by the apostles (Acts 4:36); and after Peter and James were satisfied, the disciples generally would at once receive him.

_ _ how he had seen the Lord ... and he — the Lord.

_ _ had spoken to him — that is, how he had received his commission direct from the Lord Himself.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 9:23-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 9:27

To the apostles — Peter and James, Galatians 1:18-19. And declared — He who has been an enemy to the truth ought not to be trusted till he gives proof that he is changed.
