But it seemed good unto Silas to abide there ( edoxe de Silāi epimeinai autou ).

This verse is not in the Revised Version or in the text of Westcott and Hort, being absent from Aleph A B Vulgate, etc. It is clearly an addition to help explain the fact that Silas is back in Antioch in Act 15:40. But the "some days"of Act 15:36afforded abundant time for him to return from Jerusalem. He and Judas went first to Jerusalem to make a report of their mission.

JFB: Act 15:34-35 - -- Silas determined.

Silas determined.

(The authorities against the insertion of this verse are strong. It may have been afterwards added to explain Act 15:40). Doubtless the attraction to Antioch for Silas was Paul's presence there, to whom he seems to have now formed that permanent attachment which the sequel of this book and Paul's Epistles show to have existed.

Notwithstanding it pleased Silas, etc. - This whole verse is wanting in ABEG, a great number besides, with the Syriac, Arabic, Coptic, Slavonic, Vulgate, and some of the fathers. It does not appear to have been originally in the text.

Defender: Act 15:34 - -- Silas is short for Silvanus (2Co 1:19); he was a God-called "prophet" (Act 15:32), a leader in the Jerusalem church (Act 15:22), and would soon become...

Silas is short for Silvanus (2Co 1:19); he was a God-called "prophet" (Act 15:32), a leader in the Jerusalem church (Act 15:22), and would soon become Paul's missionary companion (Act 15:40)."

TSK: Act 15:34 - -- it pleased : Act 11:25, Act 11:26, Act 18:27; 1Co 16:12

Notwithstanding ... - This whole verse is missing in many mss.; in the Syriac, Arabic, and Coptic versions; and is regarded as spurious by Mill, Griesbach, and by other critics. It was probably introduced by some early transcriber, who judged it necessary to complete the narrative. The Latin Vulgate reads, "It seemed good to Silas to remain, but Judas went alone to Jerusalem."

Poole: Act 15:34 - -- Though, having performed his message, he was discharged, and might have returned; yet, for the further benefit of that church, he continued at Antio...

Though, having performed his message, he was discharged, and might have returned; yet, for the further benefit of that church, he continued at Antioch.

Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still,.... Though he had leave to go, and was actually dismissed with Judas; and doubtless intended to have gone with him, but for some reason or another he changed his mind, and thought fit to continue at Antioch some time longer: and the design of Providence in it seems to have been this; that he might be a companion with the Apostle Paul in his travels among the Gentiles, as he afterwards was, and was very useful to him. This verse is wanting in the Alexandrian copy, and in the Syriac and Arabic versions; the Ethiopic version reads, "and Paul proposed", or "determined to abide", as he did some little time longer, as appears from the following verse: the Vulgate Latin version here adds, and "Judas went alone to Jerusalem"; and so it is read in one of Beza's copies, and in one of Stephens's.
