Commentary on Acts 15:26

Theological / Devotional

Hazarded. Gr. paradidomi, “to give over,” “to commit.” This passage may be understood in either of two ways. It may mean that they were men who had shown themselves willing to give up their lives for Christ’s sake — which certainly was true (see chs. 13:50; 14:5, 19) — or it may mean more generally that they had committed their lives to the cause of Christ.

For the name. Here as before “name” signifies the Messianic dignity and divine authority of Jesus. The missionaries had been preaching Jesus as the Christ. See on ch. 3:16.
