Contextual Overview

23 Now, when a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him; 24 But their plot was made known unto Saul, - and they were even narrowly watching the gates, both day and night, that they might kill him; 25 But the disciples, taking him by night, through the wall, let him down, lowering him in a basket. 26 And, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he made attempts to join himself unto the disciples; and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. 27 But, Barnabas, taking him, brought him unto the apostles, and related unto them, - how, in the way, he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken unto him; and how, in Damascus, he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord; 29 And was both speaking and discussing with the Grecian Jews, - but, they, were setting to work to kill him. 30 And the brethren, discovering it, brought him down into Caesarea, and sent him away unto Tarsus. 31 So then, the assembly throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, had peace, building itself up, and going on its way in the fear of the Lord; and, by the advocacy of the Holy Spirit, was being multiplied.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And be was with them,.... Peter and James, and the rest of the disciples; he lived with them, conversed with them, and joined with them in all religious exercises; which is signified by his

coming in and going out at Jerusalem; no one of the apostles or disciples forbidding or hindering him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And he was with them ... - That is, he was admitted to their friendship, and recognized as a Christian and an apostle. The time during which he then remained at Jerusalem was, however, only fifteen days, Galatians 1:18.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 9:28. He was with them coming in and going out — Freely conversing and associating with them; but this seems to have continued only fifteen days. See Galatians 1:18.
