Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
Paul is saying that nothing but sloth should keep these Jews from knowing such an excellent and plain matter: Christ came with the shrill preaching of the gospel, and forgiveness of sins, whereby God reconciles us to Himself, must be preached to all men, for we are all enemies to God through sin until He receives us to favor by free forgiveness.

Luke passes over Perga in silence, though Diana's temple stood there, because the whole world could not contain all that might be written. Paul and Barnabas went straight to the synagogue at Antioch, not to curry favor with magistrates, but to the Jews themselves, proving their true care for their souls. This was always the way: to show how the New Testament flows directly from the Old, which the Jews already held sacred.
