Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 15:26

26 Men that have hazarded their lives, for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Because that the false Apostles at Antioch had vilified Paul and Barnabas, and opposed their Doctrine and Practice in admitting of the Gentiles by Baptism into the Church, the Councel here at Ierusalem take occasion to vindicate, and to commend them, especially for their suffering so much for Christ, of which we read, Chap. 13.50. and 14.19. It being most reasonable to believe, that they had not done or said any thing for their own sakes, who had done and suffered so much for Christ and his Truths sake.

For Christs Honour, and the Truth of his Gospel.
