This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2. ὅς ἐμαρτυρεῖτο, who was well reported of. The same word is used about Cornelius (Act 10:22), and by Paul about Ananias (Act 22:12).
ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν Λύστροις καὶ Ἰκονίῳ ἀδελφῶν, by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. The ‘brethren’ are the members of the Christian Churches. Five or six years had elapsed since St Paul’s previous visit. In that time congregations had been gathered together and the characters of their most earnest members were well known. We see too that there was an interchange of kindly offices between the neighbouring Churches.
