James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Acts 28:28

THE MISSION TO THE GENTILES‘Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will bear it.’ Acts 28:28 The Jews had exhausted St. Paul’s patience. He had reasoned with them; he had pleaded with them; but all to no purpose. They refused to accept the message he brought, and henceforth he turned to the Gentiles. The Jews had lost their opportunity; ‘the salvation of God’ was ‘sent unto the Gentiles.’ ‘They will hear it,’ said St. Paul. And we... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:1-31

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:25-27

‘And when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, “Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, saying, Go you to this people, and say, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no wise understand, and seeing you will see, and will in no wise perceive, for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:28

“Be it known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles. They will also hear.” Meanwhile let them know, (and he wanted to provoke them to jealousy by this - Romans 11:11) that this salvation of God available through the Messiah is sent to the Gentiles who will hear it, just as many Jews do. True ‘Judaism’ is now open to the world. ‘They also.’ Also as well as the believing Jews. So it was now open to all Jews to consider their response, recognising that some Jews had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:29-30

‘And he abode two whole years in his own rented dwelling (or ‘at his own expense’), and received all that went in to him, preaching the Kingly Rule of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him.’ These final summaries have a twofold purpose. To bring to a summation the passage that they follow, and to summarise all that has happened throughout the preceding section. This one is no different from the others, except that it also brings the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:23-28

Acts 28:23-Hosea : . The Jews are Hardened.— It was a numerous meeting; we can scarcely understand the words to mean that more came the second time than the first. “ The kingdom of God” is a wide phrase for the Christian doctrine which began with the announcement of the nearness of God’ s rule ( cf. Acts 1:3). The doctrine about Jesus, supported by texts from the Law and the Prophets, is appropriate to the audience, and sums up what the writer considered to be the essence of Christian... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:30

Acts 28:30 f. Conclusion.— These verses take up Acts 28:16 and show us Paul carrying on his mission in Rome undisturbed, preaching as in Acts 28:23. Here the book ends: if the writer has information about the trial and the death of Paul, he does not enter upon it. If Ac. appeared in the reign of Domitian, the closing words are very effective. Cf. p. 772 .(See also Supplement) read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 28:26

As their fathers did hear the many prophecies concerning the miseries and calamities which for their sins were to come upon them, as also concerning the Messiah which was to come, but did not believe them or entertain them as they ought; so these their children (through the righteous judgment of God) inherited their fathers’ sins, and should be heirs also of their punishments. Thus we see, that Scriptura prophetica saepius impletur; and what was spoken and fillfilled in that generation so long... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 28:27

Though God did forsake this people, (being first forsaken of them), and withdraw his gratuitous assistance from them, yet it is all justly charged upon them, they having by their sins said unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways, Job 21:14. Their eyes have they closed; they winked, as those that were loth to see, though they could not but see, the truths Paul preached concerning the Messiah; prejudicate opinions and self-conceit hindering them from coming unto the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 28:28

The salvation of God; so the gospel is called; because: 1. The finding of it out.2. The preparing of it by sending his Son.3. The revealing of it, and;4. Its efficacy, is only of God.Is sent unto the Gentiles; as by our Saviour’s commission, Matthew 28:19, and Luke 24:47, does appear. And Paul had by experience found the effects of it, as may be seen in all this book of his travels, where we may find many of the Gentiles were obedient unto the word, which the Jews gainsaid and blasphemed. read more
