Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Wherefore my sentence is.--Literally, Wherefore I judge. The tone is that of one who speaks with authority, but what follows is not given as a decree, but as a resolution which was submitted to the judgment of the Apostles and elders. (Comp. Acts 16:4.)That we trouble not them.--The verb is not found elsewhere in the New Testament, and expresses the idea of "worrying" or "harassing."Are turned to God.--More accurately, are turning, as acknowledging that the work was going on at that very moment.
