Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 23. We have four men. There are with us four men. It is evident that James and the elders meant to say, that these men were connected with them in the Christian church; and that act shows that the Christians at Jerusalem did not disregard the institutions of Moses, and had not been so far enlightened in the doctrines of Christianity as to forsake yet the ceremonial rites of the Jews. Which have a vow on them. Which have made a vow. See Barnes "Ac 18:18".
