“"We have sent therefore Judas and Silas; who shall also tell you the same things by mouth." For it was necessary that there should be not merely the Epistle there by itself, lest they should say that Paul and Barnabas had suppressed the real purport, that they said one thing instead of another.”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — Homily on Acts 33

In context
25It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
— Acts 15:27 —
28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
