Contextual Overview

1 THEN he arrived at the city of Der''be and Lys''tra: there was there a disciple whose name was Timo''the-us, the son of a Jewess convert, but whose father was a Syr''ian. 2 And all the disciples of Lys''tra and I-co''nium gave good testimony concerning him. 3 Paul wanted to take this man with him, so he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region; for they all knew that his father was a Syr''i-an. 4 And as they went through the cities, they preached and taught the people to obey the decrees which the apostles and elders had written at Jerusalem. 5 And so the churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And so were the churches established in the faith,.... Of Christ, both in the grace and doctrine of faith; and that both by the preaching of the Gospel by the apostle and his companions, and by the decrees of the elders delivered by him:

and increased in number daily; as well as in gifts and grace.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Established in the faith - Confirmed in the belief of the gospel The effect of the wise and conciliatory measure was to increase and strengthen the churches.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 16:5. And so were the Churches established — The disputations at Antioch, relative to circumcision, had no doubt spread far and wide among other Churches, and unhinged many. The decrees of the apostles came in good time, and prevented farther mischief: the people, saved from uncertainty, became established in the faith; and the Church had a daily accession of converted souls.
