16. went with us . . . and brought with them--rather, "brought us to."
One Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, &c.--not an "aged" disciple,
but probably "a disciple of old standing," perhaps one of the three
thousand converted on the day of Pentecost, or, more likely still, drawn
to the Saviour Himself during His lifetime. He had come, probably, with
the other Cyprians
(Ac 11:20),
to Antioch, "preaching the Lord Jesus unto the Grecians," and now he
appears settled at Jerusalem.
