SCRIPTURE

"it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul," — Acts 15:25 (ASV)

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 ;
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.
