And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas … Paul was tireless. We do not know how long he remained in Antioch after the reading of the apostolic epistle. The use of polysyndeton (the repetition of the word “and” in the text) would denote little break in the action. The expression “with many others also” (v. 35), with which it is linked, leads us to the conclusion that Paul soon decided there were plenty of people able to carry on at Antioch. They did not need him there.
