• From this one may conclude that Paul had been in Jerusalem at the time of Peter’s imprisonment, and exodus under God’s hand. If this were so, one can understand the joy that would fill his large heart in seeing the beloved Simon again at liberty, and free to go on with the Lord’s work. Jealousy of another servant’s pre-eminence never seems to have had any place in Paul’s heart. At this point, however, Paul becomes specially the vessel of the Spirit’s power, and Peter passes off the scene, only for a brief space reappearing in the momentous conclave of Acts 15. (“Prayed out of Prison” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• The last verse is a transition to the still more important movement from Antioch which follows. It shows us two of the highest rank in the assembly not ashamed to render diaconal service toward the poor saints in Jerusalem. (“Acts 12” by W. Kelly)
