Verse 12
Barnabas and Paul’s testimony 15:12
The old order of these two names recurs here. Barnabas, as a respected member of this church (Acts 4:36-37; Acts 11:22), took the lead in relating the experiences he and Paul had undergone in ministering to Gentiles. Barnabas emphasized the signs and wonders God had performed because these would have persuaded the Jews that God had been at work in their ministry (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:22).
"It was a report not of their successes but of how God had acted, and its implication was that by his acts God had revealed his will." [Note: Longenecker, p. 445.]
