Acts 15:25 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:25

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.
