and gone up--that is, to Jerusalem.
and saluted the church--In these few words does the historian
despatch the apostle's
FOURTH VISIT TO
JERUSALEM
after his conversion. The expression "going up" is invariably
used of a journey to the metropolis; and thence he naturally "went
down to Antioch." Perhaps the vessel reached too late for the
feast, as he seems to have done nothing in Jerusalem beyond "saluting
the Church," and privately offering the sacrifice with which his vow
(Ac 18:18)
would conclude. It is left to be understood, as on his arrival from his
first missionary tour, that "when he was come, and had gathered the
church together, he rehearsed all that God had done with him"
(Ac 14:27)
on this his second missionary journey.
