As well as Silas: teaching and preaching the word of the Lord; the Gospel of Christ; not the word of men, but the word of the Lord, of which he is both the author and subject: this they preached in season, and out of season, with power, purity, plainness, and faithfulness.

And many others also;
who either came along with them from Jerusalem, when they brought the letter from thence, or were here before; who came hither upon the persecution raised at the death of Stephen, ( Acts 11:19 Acts 11:20 ) or they were the prophets which afterwards came from Jerusalem thither, ( Acts 11:27 ) such as Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, ( Acts 13:1 ) .
