使徒の働き 22:15-16 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:1-22

The testimony of religious experience. Not now dwelling upon the details of Saul's conversion, treated of for the most part under the consideration of the ninth chapter, we may observe that we have here Paul's own account of it, that is to say, we have his own rehearsal of his conversion, and so far forth religious experience. We may use the opportunity for the purpose of illustrating the right occasion and use of the individual declaring to the world "what the Lord has done for his soul.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:1-30

The apology. It was a very remarkable promise which our Lord made to his apostles, when, forewarning them that they should be delivered up to councils, and brought before kings and rulers for his sake, he added, "But when they so deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost" ( Mark 13:9-11 ). It is impossible not to see a fulfillment... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:14-15

"The will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us." I. DIVINE ELECTION . "The God of our fathers hath chosen thee" ( Acts 22:14 ). It will always be a difficulty to know what to think of the electing grace of God. But we are on safe ground when we say: 1. That God desires the well-being of every member of his human family. We may surely argue that it must be so; we may boldly affirm that it is so. Is it not written that God is one "who will have all men to be saved, and to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:14-15

The calling and the gifts of God. The apostle himself elsewhere speaks ( Romans 11:29 ) of" the gifts and the calling of God;" and of them he says that they "are without repentance." The glorious occasion to which he gives prominence in the words of these verses exhibits the "calling" first, and the "gifts" next. At the same time, this same passage describes the calling of God (separate and sovereign act though it be in itself) as introductory to responsibilities, privileges, and gifts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:16

His Name for the Name of the Lord, A.V. and T.R. Wash away thy sins ; ἀπόλουσαι , only here and in 1 Corinthians 6:11 , where it is found in exactly the same sense of "washing away sins" (see 1 Corinthians 6:9 , 1 Corinthians 6:10 ) in holy baptism. Hence the λουτρὸν παλιγγενεσίας , "the washing of regeneration'' ( Titus 3:5 ; comp. Ephesians 5:26 ; and see Acts 2:38 , note). Calling on his Name ( ἐπικαλεσάμενος ); see Acts 2:21 ; Acts 7:59 , note; Acts... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:15

For thou shalt be his witness ... - As an apostle - to testify to all people that the Messiah has come, that he has died, that he has risen, and that he is the Saviour of the world.Of what thou hast seen and heard - Of the remarkable proof which has been furnished you of the divine mission and character of the Lord Jesus. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:16

And now why tarriest thou? - Why dost thou delay, or wait any longer? These words are not recorded by Luke in Acts 9:0, where he has given an account of the conversion of Paul; but there is nothing here contradictory to his statement.And wash away thy sins - Receive baptism as emblematic of the washing away of sins. It cannot be intended that the external rite of baptism was sufficient to make the soul pure, but that it was an ordinance divinely appointed as expressive of the washing away of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 22:6-16

Acts 22:6-16. And as I made my journey, &c., about noon For all was done in the face of the sun; suddenly there shone a great light By whatever method God reveals himself to us, we shall have everlasting cause to remember it; especially when he has gone, in any remarkable manner, out of his common way, for this gracious purpose. If so, we should often dwell on the particular circumstance, and be ready, on every proper occasion, to recount these wonders of power and love for the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 22:1-29

Paul’s reply to the crowd (21:37-22:29)By his command of the situation, Paul showed much physical courage and mental alertness. One minute he was snatched from a violent death, the next he was able to address a mob of wildly excited Jews who were screaming for his blood. He spoke with such power that a rioting crowd of would-be murderers listened to him in silence (37-40).Paul wanted to show that he was a zealous Jew, called by God to serve him. He told of his Jewish upbringing and education,... read more
