And the apostles and elders came together, etc.] And also the brethren, or private members of the church, even the whole church, as appears from (<441522>Acts 15:22,23). Whether all the apostles were here present, is not certain; Peter, James, and John were; but who else, cannot be said: these met together for to consider of this matter; to hear what was to be said on both sides of the question, and then to judge what advice was proper to be given to the Gentiles.
