What was the precise nature of the office of a prophet in the Christian church it is not easy to ascertain. Possibly it may imply that they were teachers of unusual or remark able ability. Compare the notes on Romans 12:6.Confirmed them - Strengthened them; that is, by their instructions and exhortations. See the notes on Acts 14:22. read more

32. Judas and Silas, being prophets themselves—that is, inspired teachers. exhorted the brethren with many words—"much discourse." and confirmed them—opening up, no doubt, the great principle involved in the controversy now settled, of gratuitous salvation, or the purification of the heart by faith alone (as expressed by Peter, Acts 15:9; Acts 15:11), and dwelling on the necessity of harmony in principle and affection between the Gentile disciples and their Jewish brethren. read more

The apostles had strengthened the case for salvation by faith alone greatly. Again, the trip that Paul and Barnabas made between Antioch and Jerusalem and back consisted of about 560... read more

The Question of Circumcision1-35. The Council of Jerusalem, 49 a.d. The usual view is that Galatians 2:1-10 describes the visit of St. Paul to Jerusalem on the occasion of this Council. Adopting this, the following was the course of events. The baptism of Gentiles by St. Paul on his First Missionary Journey, without requiring them to be circumcised or to keep the Law, was keenly criticised at Jerusalem by the Pharisaic party within the Church. Some of these malcontents even came to Antioch,... read more
