使徒行伝 28:26-31 JC

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:23-31

23-31 Paul persuaded the Jews concerning Jesus. Some were wrought upon by the word, and others hardened; some received the light, and others shut their eyes against it. And the same has always been the effect of the gospel. Paul parted with them, observing that the Holy Ghost had well described their state. Let all that hear the gospel, and do not heed it, tremble at their doom; for who shall heal them, if God does not? The Jews had afterwards much reasoning among themselves. Many have great... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 28:1-99

Acts 28 WE STILL SEE the protecting hand of God stretched over Paul and his companions when they had landed on Malta. Though the inhabitants were “barbarians” according to Roman thoughts, they showed exceptional kindness to the shipwrecked party, and things were so over-ruled that they soon discovered that one of the shipwrecked visitors was no ordinary person. Paul was busily engaged, doing what he could to help, when a viper fastened itself on his hand. The superstitious islanders placed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 28:25-29

A word from Isaiah applied: v. 25. And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, v. 26. saying, Go unto this people and say, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive; v. 27. for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 28:30-31

Two years at Rome: v. 30. And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, v. 31. preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no man forbidding him. Paul may, at this time, have been able to purchase many conveniences for himself, or the liberality of the various congregations made it possible; at any rate, he was able to rent and live in his own lodgings for two whole years,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 28:17-29

Acts THE LAST GLIMPSE OF PAUL Act_28:17 - Act_28:31 . We have here our last certain glimpse of Paul. His ambition had long been to preach in Rome, but he little knew how his desire was to be fulfilled. We too are often surprised at the shape which God’s answers to our wishes take. Well for us if we take the unexpected or painful events which accomplish some long-cherished purpose as cheerfully and boldly as did Paul. We see him in this last glimpse as the centre of three concentric widening... read more

Acts THE THEME OF ACTS THE LAST GLIMPSE OF PAUL PAUL IN ROME Act_28:30 - Act_28:31 . So ends this book. It stops rather than ends. Many reasons might be suggested for closing here. Probably the simplest is the best, that nothing more is said for nothing more had yet been done. Probably the book was written during these two years. This abrupt close suggests several noteworthy thoughts. I. The true theme of the book. How convenient if Luke had told us a little more! But Paul’s history is... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 28:21-31

Preaching in the World’s Capital Acts 28:21-31 It was one of the earliest cares of Paul to summon the leading members of the Jewish community, that he might explain to them his position. He made clear that he had not opposed or injured his own people, and that he was suffering because of his devotion to the “Hope of Israel,” by which he obviously referred to Christ. The Jews replied cautiously, declaring that they had not as yet received the formal charge against him. But as they professed a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 28:1-31

On land new perils threatened. While gathering sticks for a fire, a viper fastened on the apostle's hand. Shaking it off, he was unharmed. This convinced those who watched that he was divine, and they sought to worship him. Necessarily, Paul refused such homage. Three months Paul and his companions sojourned there, during which time they received kindness from the inhabitants, and Paul wrought healing, beginning in the house of the governor. After this long and tedious journey was... read more
