Acts 14:26

Verse 26. And thence sailed to Antioch. See Barnes "Ac 11:19". From whence they had been recommended, etc. Where they had been ap- pointed to this missionary tour by the church, Ac 13:1-4. To the grace of God. His favour and protection had been implored for them in their perilous undertaking. For the work which they fulfilled. This shows conclusively, (1.) that they had accomplished fully the work which was originally contemplated. It was strictly a missionary tour among the Gentiles. It was an important and hazardous enterprise; and was the first in which the church formally engaged. Hence so much importance is attached to it, and so faithful a record of it is preserved.
