But Paul and Barnabas
This phrase highlights two central figures in the early Christian church. Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, was a Pharisee who converted to Christianity after a dramatic encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus. His transformation and subsequent missionary journeys are pivotal in the spread of Christianity. Barnabas, whose name means "son of encouragement," was a Levite from Cyprus and an early disciple who played a crucial role in introducing Paul to the apostles in Jerusalem. Their partnership exemplifies the unity and collaboration necessary for the growth of the early church, despite their later disagreement over John Mark (Acts 15:36-41).

remained at Antioch
Antioch in Syria was a significant center for early Christianity, often considered the cradle of Gentile Christianity. It was here that followers of Jesus were first called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). The decision of Paul and Barnabas to remain in Antioch underscores the importance of this city as a base for missionary activity and theological development. Historically, Antioch was a major city of the Roman Empire, known for its cultural diversity and strategic location, making it an ideal hub for spreading the Gospel.

along with many others
This phrase indicates that Paul and Barnabas were not alone in their efforts. The early church was a community endeavor, with many believers contributing to the mission. This collective effort reflects the body of Christ, where each member plays a vital role. The presence of "many others" also suggests a thriving Christian community in Antioch, committed to the teachings of Jesus and the expansion of the faith.

teaching and preaching
The dual activities of teaching and preaching highlight the comprehensive approach to ministry. "Teaching" (Greek: διδάσκω, didaskō) involves instructing believers in the doctrines and ethical teachings of Christianity, ensuring a solid foundation in the faith. "Preaching" (Greek: κηρύσσω, kēryssō) refers to the proclamation of the Gospel, often to those who have not yet heard it. This combination of nurturing the faithful and evangelizing the lost is essential for church growth and health.

the word of the Lord
This phrase refers to the message of Jesus Christ, encompassing His life, death, resurrection, and teachings. The "word" (Greek: λόγος, logos) is central to Christian belief, representing divine truth and revelation. In the context of Acts, "the word of the Lord" is the Gospel message that Paul and Barnabas were committed to spreading. It is the transformative power of this word that fueled the missionary zeal of the early church and continues to inspire believers today.

(35) Preaching the word of the Lord.--Here, as often elsewhere, preaching the glad tidings of the word.

With many others.--Among these we may fairly reckon the prophets of Acts 13:1. Looking to the later history of the Church of Antioch, it is not improbable that we may think also of the martyr Ignatius, and Euodius, afterwards Bishop of Antioch, as among those who were thus active, though they were not prominent enough, when St. Luke wrote, to be specially named. Ignatius was said to have been, together with Polycarp, a disciple of St. John (Mart. Ignat. c. 3), while another tradition represents him as a follower of Peter. It is possible that the dispute between St. Peter and St. Paul, referred to in Galatians 2:11-13, occurred during this period, but the evidence on the whole tends to connect it with St. Paul's visit to Antioch in Acts 18:22, where see Note.

Verse 35. - But Paul for Paul also, A.V.; tarried for continued, A.V. It is at this time that Meyer and other commentators (see ver. 1, note) place Peter's visit to Antioch mentioned in Galatians 2:11. But it is quite inconceivable that Peter, with all the influence of the Jerusalem Cornell fresh upon him, and after the part he himself took in it, and when his own emissaries, Silas and Judas, had just left Antioch, should act the part there ascribed to him. Nor is it within the region of probability that, so soon after the council, any should have come "from James" to unsay what James had said and written at the council. We may with much confidence place Peter's visit to Antioch before the council, as suggested in note to ver. 1.
