And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 8:18 Go To 2 Corinthians 8
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Who is this famous brother? Some say it is Luke because of the history which he wrote, but others say it was Barnabas because Paul also calls unwritten preaching the gospel. Why does he not mention him by name? Perhaps it was because the Corinthians did not know him personally, and Paul was content to say only enough to allay any possible suspicion of him at Corinth. Notice that the man was praised for his preaching.
