Acts 15:25 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:25

It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord,
&c.] Or together; in one place, as the Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it; see ( Acts 2:1 ) though certain it is, that as they were in one place, so they were in one mind; and their unanimity was proper to be mentioned, in order to engage a regard to their advice:

to send men chosen unto you;
men chosen for this purpose; namely, Judas and Silas:

with our beloved Barnabas and Paul;
who are commended thus, partly to express their affection to them; and partly to observe the wisdom of the church at Antioch, in sending two such agreeable persons; and chiefly to testify their approbation of the doctrine and conduct of these two men.

Acts 15:25 In-Context

23 They sent the following letter with them: From the apostles and elders, your brothers. To all the non-Jewish believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings!
24 We have heard that some of our group have come to you and said things that trouble and upset you. But we did not tell them to do this.
25 We have all agreed to choose some messengers and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul --
26 people who have given their lives to serve our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 So we are sending Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things.
