Antioch
Today: Antakya (Antioch on the Orontes), Turkey
An important city of Syria, about 15 miles (25 km) inland from the Mediterranean, in present-day Turkey. There was another Antioch in Pisidia, in central Turkey today.
There the disciples were first called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). The assembly sent Paul and Barnabas out from there on their first journey (Acts 13:1-3).
The context
34But it seemed good to Silas to remain there.
35 · This verse (above)
36And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back now and visit the brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
To study Acts 15 in a group
1. What it says
What disagreement arose in Antioch, and whom did they send to Jerusalem to deal with it? (vv. 1-2)
2. What it means
How did the apostles and elders reach a decision? Who spoke, and what weighed in it? (vv. 6-22)
3. How I live it
They listened to everyone before deciding (vv. 7, 12). How can you listen better to someone you disagree with?
