Contextual Overview

22 Then pleased it the Apostles & elders, with the whole Church, to sende chosen me of their owne companie to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas: [That is] Iudas, whose sirname was Barsabas, and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren, 23 And wrote letters by them, after this maner. 24 The Apostles, and elders, & brethren, sende greetinges vnto ye brethren, which are of the gentiles in Antiochia, Syria, & Cilicia. Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certayne which departed from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, & cumbred your myndes, saying ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe, to who we gaue no such commaundent: 25 It seemed therfore to vs a good thing, when we were come together with one accorde, to sende chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul, 26 Men that haue ieoparded their lyues, for ye name of our Lorde Iesus Christe. 27 We haue sent therefore Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same thynges by mouth. 28 For it seemed good to the holy ghost, and to vs, to charge you with no more then these necessarie thynges [That is to say] 29 That ye abstayne from thynges offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication: From which yf ye kepe your selues, ye shall do well. So fare ye well. 30 Nowe therfore, when they were departed, they came to Antioche, and gathered the multitude together, and delyuered the epistle. 31 Which when they had read, they reioyced of the consolation.

they were: Acts 16:36, Genesis 26:29, Exodus 4:18, 1 Corinthians 16:11, Hebrews 11:31, 2 John 1:10

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And after they had tarried there a space,.... How long is not certain; the Arabic version renders it "a year"; and it is probable enough, they might stay there so long, till things were thoroughly settled, which were thrown into great disorder and confusion, by the pleaders for circumcision:

they were let go in peace; that is, they were dismissed, and went away with the leave and consent of the church; who returned them thanks for the service and good offices they had done them, and wished them all peace, prosperity, and happiness, both in soul and body, and great success in their ministrations wherever they went: and as they were dismissed in peace, they left the church in perfect peace; an end being put to the controversy about circumcision, which was raised among them; and the members of the church being agreed in their sentiments, and heartily united in their affections to one another: and thus Judas and Silas were honourably dismissed

from the brethren, at Antioch,

to the Apostles, at Jerusalem; the Alexandrian copy, and Beza's ancient copy, the Vulgate Latin, and Ethiopic versions, read, "to them that sent them"; and so include, with the apostles, the elders, and brethren at Jerusalem, who wrote the letter to the church at Antioch, and sent it by them; and it was proper that they should return to them, and give them an account of the success of it, how it was received, and what good it had done.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A space - For some time.

They were let go in peace - An expression implying that they departed with the affectionate regard of the Christians to whom they had ministered, and with their highest wishes for their prosperity, 1 Corinthians 16:11; 2 John 1:10.

Unto the apostles - At Jerusalem. Many mss., however, instead of “unto the apostles,” read “unto those who had sent them.” The sense is not materially different.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 33. They were let go — That is, both had liberty to depart; but Silas chose to stay a little longer with the brethren.
