ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 8 v18

ONE WHO PREACHES. CHRYSOSTOM: 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. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 18.1.
