Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
Paul and Barnabas arrived by boat in Antioch, a special place in their work for the Lord. It was from there that they had been sent out by the Christians there with money for the saints in Judea. It was at Antioch that the disciples of the Lord were first called Christians. But the work that they were sent to do, they did. It says in our verse, “The work which they fulfilled.” How important it is that you finish the work the Lord has given you to do. Don’t do it halfway. If the Lord Jesus had only half done His work, we wouldn’t be on our way to heaven. When the Lord gives you a work - do it - to completion.
