Silas in Acts 15
SY-lus
This person shows up in Acts 15:22: “Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 15:22
“Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.”
What kids can learn
When you hear silas in Acts, remember the sentence around it. God put this person in the story on purpose.
