They committed themselves to the Lord. We gather hereby first, what great care Paul and Barnabas had for the salvation of those, who by their industry were turned unto the Lord. For they testify that in this infirmity of the flesh men be subject to more dangers, then that their faith can continue steadfast through his own strength. Therefore this is the only refuge and aid, if the Lord keep them continually whom he hath once received. And when Luke saith that they were commended to God in whom they believed, there cometh no small confidence hence unto us: because he assigneth this office to God as proper to him, to save and defend all those who by true faith have embraced his word.

They committed thēselues to the Lord. We gather hereby first, what great care Paul and Barnabas had for the saluation of those, who by their industrie were turned vnto the Lord. For they testifie that in this infirmity of the flesh men be subiect to more dangers, then that their faith can continue stedfast through his owne strength. Therefore this is the only refuge and aid, if the Lord keepe them continually whom he hath once receiued. And when Luke saith that they were commended to God in whom they beleeued, there commeth no small confidence hence vnto vs: because he assigneth this office to God as proper to him, to saue and defend all those who by true faith haue embraced his word.

24 Passing through Pisidia. We have already said that Paul and Barnabas came to Antioch of Pisidia: being now about to return to Antioch of Syria, whence they were sent away: they go through Pamphilia, which is the middle region toward the mount Taurus. And Perga, & Attalia are Cities lying near together. And whereas Luke saith that they preach the word in the one only, we may thereby guess that they had not opportunity offered them every where to teach, which they were wont to neglect or let pass no where.

We haue alreadie said that Paul and Barnabas came to Antioch of Pisidia: being now about to returne to Antioch of Syria, whence they were sent away: they go through Pamphilia, which is the midle region toward the mount Taurus. And Perga, & Attalia are Cities lying neere togither. And whereas Luke saith that they preach the word in the one only, wee may thereby guesse that they had not opportunitie offered them euery where to teach, which they were wont to neglect or let passe no where.
