使徒の働き 14:11-12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:8-18

Three instances of faith. The contents of these verses are very diversified and very full. Yet a certain unity attaches to them, and from this point of view they will be now regarded. Paul and Barnabas have now reached a people who arc almost exclusively Gentiles, and Gentiles of the Gentiles. The miracle with which this paragraph opens may be supposed to find its place here by the mind of the Spirit, less for its own particulars, interesting and instructive as they are, than for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:8-20

Healing of the lame man at Lystra. The event is chiefly remarkable for the effect it produced upon the minds of the people of the country and the illustration of the apostolic temper and spirit thereby called forth. I. THE SUFFERER AND HIS FAITH . 1. His complaint was congenital, and, according to ordinary ways of thinking, incurable. This brings all the more his faith into relief. It is the very power and property of faith to conquer what seems to reason unconquerable.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:11

Multitudes for people, A.V.; voice for voices, A.V. In the speech of Lycaonia . It is not known what the language of Lycaonia was, whether Cappadocian, or Celtic, or Lycian; but we learn incidentally from Stephanus Byzantinus, that there was a Lycaonian language, for he tells us that Delbia ( as some write the name Derbe) was the Lycaonian for ἄρκευθος , a juniper tree or berry. No other Lycaonian word is known (see "Jablouskii Disquis. de Ling. Lycaon," in Stephan.,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:12

Mercury for Mercurius, A.V. For the Latin Jupiter and Mercury the Greek original has Zeus and Hermes. Jupiter is Jovis Pater, where Jovis or Diovis or Dies (in Diespiter) is the Latin form of Zeus, gen. δίος . Mercury is Hermes in his special character as the god of markets and trade. But the Lycaonians here thought of him in his principal character of herald and messenger of the gods, and hence the god of eloquence and speech. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:11

They lifted up their voices - They spoke with astonishment, such as might be expected when it was supposed that the gods had come down.In the speech of Lycaonia - What this language was has much perplexed commentators. It was probably a mixture of the Greek and Syriac. In that region generally the Greek was usually spoken with more or less purity; and from the fact that it was not far from the regions of Syria, it is probable that the Greek language was corrupted with this foreign admixture.The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:12

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter - Jupiter was the most powerful of all the gods of the ancients. He was represented as the son of Saturn and Ops, and was educated in a cave on Mount Ida, in the island of Crete. The worship of Jupiter was almost universal. He was the Aremon of Africa, the Belus of Babylon, the Osiris of Egypt. His common appellation was, The Father of gods and men. He was usually represented as sitting upon a golden or an ivory throne, holding in one hand a thunderbolt, and in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 14:11-12

Acts 14:11-12 . And when the people Who were present when this wonderful cure was wrought; saw what Paul had done By merely speaking a word, being all in raptures of astonishment; they lifted up their voices In loud acclamations; saying, The gods are come down Which the heathen supposed they frequently did, Jupiter especially. But how amazingly does the prince of darkness blind the minds of them that believe not! The Jews would not own Christ’s Godhead, though they saw him work... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 14:1-28

Other churches in Galatia (14:1-28)Paul and Barnabas moved on to the town of Iconium, where events followed the same pattern as in Antioch. They preached in the synagogue and both Jews and Gentiles believed. But as the number of converts increased, the people of the city became clearly divided between supporters of the apostles and supporters of the Jewish leaders. Because of the threat of murder, the apostles fled the city and went to Lystra (14:1-7).When the apostles healed a crippled man in... read more
