“It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,”
King James Version (KJV)
Acts 15:25 Context
22Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 24Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 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. 27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

Bible commentary
Wesley's Notes for Acts 15:25
15:23 Writing thus, and sending it by their hand - The whole conduct of this affair plainly shows that the Church in those days had no conception of St. Peter's primacy, or of his being the chief judge in controversies. For the decree is drawn up, not according to his, but the Apostle James's proposal and direction: and that in the name, not of St. Peter, but of all the apostles and elders, and of the whole Church. Nay, St. Peter's name is not mentioned at all, either in the order for sending to Jerusalem on the question, #Acts 15:2|, or in the address of the messengers concerning it, #Acts 15:4|, or in the letter which was written in answer.
15:24 Forasmuch as, &c. - The simplicity, weightiness, and conciseness of this letter are highly observable.
15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives - This is spoken of Paul and Barnabas.
15:27 Who will tell you the same things - Which we have written.
