Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, etc.] As well as Silas: teaching and preaching the word of the Lord; the Gospel of Christ; not the word of men, but the word of the Lord, of which he is both the author and subject: this they preached in season, and out of season, with power, purity, plainness, and faithfulness. And many others also; who either came along with them from Jerusalem, when they brought the letter from thence, or were here before; who came hither upon the persecution raised at the death of Stephen, (<441119>Acts 11:19,20) or they were the prophets which afterwards came from Jerusalem thither, (<441127>Acts 11:27) such as Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, (<441301>Acts 13:1).
