The brethren; Christians at Rome.

Appii - forum; a town about forty-three miles south of Rome.

The Three Taverns; ten miles further towards Rome.

Whom; the brethren from Rome, a part of whom met Paul at Appii-forum, and a part at The Three Taverns. The presence of Christian friends, especially in time of trouble, is delightful. Their countenance and support afford encouragement in duty, and the blessings which come through them should awaken new gratitude, and cause the offering of new thanksgiving to God.
