People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 21:18
Paul went in with us unto James. For the identification and
position of James, see PNT "Ac 15:13". This James was not one
of the twelve, but was "the brother of the Lord", a witness of the
risen Savior (1 Corinthians 15:7). "James the brother of John" had been
slain (Acts 12:2); of James the son of Alphaeus, little is known;
but James "the brother of the Lord" (Galatians 1:19) was now the leader
of the church at Jerusalem. No mention is made of any of the twelve,
and it is probable that those still living in A.D. 58, were in other
fields of labor.
And all the elders were present. The "elders" are mentioned, but
not the apostles, a proof that none of the latter were present.
