We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 18. Brother, whose praise is in the gospel, through all the Churches. [2] It may either signify in writing or in preaching the gospel, so that though S. Jerom expound this of Saint Luke, who wrote his gospel, (but probably not till after this time) yet Saint John Chrysostom rather understands it of Barnaby, by the words that follow, who was ordained by the Churches companion of our travels. Others also guess it might be Silas or Silvanus. Who the third brother was, is also uncertain. Witham.—Commentators very in their opinions upon the person here mentioned. Saint John Chrysostom and Theo. are of opinion, that this person is Saint Luke or Barnabas; S. Jerom also thinks that it must be Saint Luke the evangelist.
