The Pulpit Commentary on Acts 15:34

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

This verse is omitted in the R.T. and by the best manuscripts and commentators. It seems to have been put in to explain Acts 15:40. But Silas may have returned to Jerusalem, as stated in Acts 15:33, and come back again to Antioch, from having formed a strong attachment to St.

Paul and his views.
