Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 15:16

After this - This quotation is not made literally either from the Hebrew or the Septuagint, which differs also from the Hebrew. The 17th verse is quoted literally from the Septuagint, but in the 16th the general sense only of the passage is retained. The main point of the quotation, as made by James, was to show that, according to the prophets, it was contemplated that the Gentiles should be introduced to the privileges of the children of God; and on this point the passage has a direct bearing.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 15:12-18

Acts 15:12-18. Then all the multitude kept silence Having nothing further to object to what had been advanced; and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul Who confirmed Peter’s reasoning, by declaring what miracles God had wrought among the Gentiles By their ministry; of which, the chief miracle was, that he had amply conferred the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the believing Gentiles, although they were uncircumcised. After they had done speaking, James, the son of Alpheus, one of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 15:2-21

To Jerusalem to discuss the problem (15:2-21)The trouble created by the Judaisers had now spread to the farthermost parts of the church, so the matter needed to be settled quickly and decisively. Because the teaching came from Jerusalem, that was the place to discuss the matter. The church at Antioch therefore appointed Paul, Barnabas and other leaders to go to Jerusalem as its representatives. Along the way and after their arrival in Jerusalem, they reported on the widespread turning to God... read more

will return, &c . A Hebraism for "I will build again". Compare Genesis 26:18 . Numbers 11:4 (margin) return . Greek. anastrepho. Compare Acts 5:22 . But elsewhere refers to passing one's life, except John 2:15 (overthrow). Compare the noun anastrope. Always translated "conversation", i.e. manner of life, or behaviour. build again = build up.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 15:16-17

Acts 15:16-17. After this I will return, &c.— These words are quoted from Amo 9:11-12 according to the reading of the LXX. Bishop Chandler seems very justly to argue, that the Jews understood and admitted the words in the sense that St. James quotes them; or they would not have submitted to his interpretation, considering how strongly they were prejudiced against the consequence that he drew from them. Instead of the residue of men, it is in the Hebrew, the remnant of Edom; one of the... read more

5. The Jerusalem Council 15:1-35The increasing number of Gentiles who were becoming Christians raised a problem within the church. What was the relationship of the church to Judaism? Some Christians, especially the more conservative Jewish believers, argued that Christianity was a party within Judaism, the party of true believers. They assumed that Gentile Christians, therefore, needed to become Jewish proselytes, which involved being circumcised and obeying the Mosaic Law."In truth, there was... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 15:16-18

Amos predicted the (second) advent of Messiah after "these things" (i.e., the Tribulation, Amos 9:8-10). Messiah would set up His kingdom on the earth and restore the nation Israel (during the Millennium) under which the Gentiles would seek the Lord. We should understand the "and" in Acts 15:17 in the sense of "even" (the epexegetical use of this conjunction)."A close examination of this passage [Acts 15:14-17] reveals that there is a progression of thought leading to James’ conclusion. First,... read more
