Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 15:35

"But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also." — Acts 15:35 (ASV)

Preaching the word of the Lord.—Here, as often elsewhere, preaching the glad tidings of the word.

With many others.—Among these we may fairly consider the prophets of Acts 13:1. Looking to the later history of the Church of Antioch, it is probable that we may also consider the martyr Ignatius and Euodius, afterwards Bishop of Antioch, as among those who were so active, though they were not prominent enough when St. Luke wrote to be specially named. Ignatius was said to have been, together with Polycarp, a disciple of St. John (Martyrdom of Ignatius, chapter 3), while another tradition represents him as a follower of Peter. It is possible that the dispute between St. Peter and St. Paul, referred to in Galatians 2:11-13, occurred during this period, but the evidence on the whole tends to connect it with St. Paul’s visit to Antioch in Acts 18:22; see the note on that passage.
