People's Bible Notes for Acts 14:14
Ac 14:14 [Which] when the apostles. The term "apostles" is used in Ac 14:4. It is applied in the New Testament a number of times to persons not of the twelve, but apostolic men (see 2Co 8:23, where the Greek term "apostolos" is translated "messenger"). Paul was an apostle, chosen by the Lord (Ro 1:1), and Barnabas was an apostolic missionary, sent out ("apostle" means "one sent") by the Holy Spirit. They rent their clothes. A sign of great grief, and even of indignation and horror. See Ge 37:29 Mt 26:65.
