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 With them they sent the following letter: The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.
25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul—
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing.
