Acts 14:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 14:26

And thence sailed to Antioch
In Syria,

from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God;
by the prophets: from this place they first set out on their travels; here they were separated by the order of the Holy Ghost to the work of the ministry, and by them they were sent forth, after they had in prayer commended them to God, and to his grace to assist them, and succeed them, as well as to fit them

for the work which they fulfilled;
that is, for the work of the ministry, for the preaching of the Gospel in several places; and which they had now gone through, and finished with great integrity and faithfulness, and with much success, though through many afflictions and persecutions.

Acts 14:26 In-Context

24 Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;

25 and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.

26 Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.

27 Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.

28 And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
