James; and all the elders. As quickly as possible Paul called upon James, apparently the presiding elder, and the other leaders of the church at Jerusalem. These may have been those of the apostles who were still resident there, rather than elected “local” church elders (cf. ch. 14:23). But cf. ch. 15:2, 4, 6, where both apostles and elders are specifically mentioned. This James, doubtless “the Lord’s brother,” had been chairman of the Council of Jerusalem (see on Acts 12:17; see Acts 15:13; Gal. 1:19).
