This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
So they (hoi men oun). As in Act 15:3.
When they were dismissed (apoluthentes). First aorist passive participle of apoluō, common verb to loosen, to dismiss. Possibly (Hackett) religious services were held as in Act 15:33(cf. Act 13:3) and perhaps an escort for part of the way as in Act 15:3.
The multitude (to plēthos). Public meeting of the church as in Act 15:1-3. Deissmann (Bible Studies, p. 232) gives illustrations from the inscriptions of the use of plēthos for official, political, and religious gatherings. The committee formally “delivered” (epedōkan) the epistle to the church authorities.
