Of the occasion and particulars of the second of these four visits, we have but one account: viz. that which is to be seen in the Acts. Compared with what belongs to the other visits, that which belongs to this is but of small importance. The information, to be collected from it, will, however, be seen to be this: namely, that this was the second, of the attempts he made to join himself to the Apostles: and that it succeeded no better than the first. It did not even succeed so well: for, notwithstanding the claims which the business of it gave him to their regard--it was to bring them a sum of money, the fruit of the liberality of the Church at Antioch--he could not so much as obtain admittance into the presence of any one of them. Without much hesitation, this may be affirmed. If he had, he would have made mention of it: for, it will be seen, that, whatsoever apparent countenance he ever succeeded in obtaining from them, it was his care to make the most of it. SECTION 6. REMARKS ON VISIT III.--DEPUTATION VISIT. Of the occasion, and particulars, and termination, of the _third_ of these four visits, we have two, and but two, accounts: one--that given in the Acts; the other--that given by Paul himself, as above, in his letter to his Galatians: that in the Acts, the only one which goes into particulars; and which must accordingly be taken for the basis of the narrative, and in that character be brought to view in the first instance: that given by Paul himself confining itself to generals; but, as far as it goes, much more to be depended upon, and affording much more instruction, than that given in the Acts. Among its immediate consequences, this third visit appears to have had some sort of intercourse between Paul and Saint Peter at Antioch--the next most considerable seat of the new religion after Jerusalem; at Antioch, to which city, Paul,--who, with Barnabas, had been settled there,--was on his return: Peter being then on a temporary visit, made to that place, for the final settlement of the business, by which the last preceding visit of Paul to Jerusalem had been occasioned. At the time of this visit, the residence of Paul was at this same Antioch. The occasion of it was--the dissemination there, of a doctrine, which, by certain persons not named, had been imported thither from Jerusalem: a doctrine, according to which it was taught to the brethren--"Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved." For the settlement of this important matter,--Barnabas, with Paul for his companion, besides other companions not named, was, by the brethren at Antioch, now, for the second time, sent, as a delegate, to the brethren at Jerusalem.
