Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 14:8-10

Acts 14:8-10. And there sat, &c. To the general account of the apostle’s labours given above, the historian here subjoins a particular relation of some memorable events which happened at Lystra. There sat a man impotent in his feet Disabled, as the word is, to that degree, that it was impossible he should set his feet to the ground, or lay any stress upon them; being As was well known, a cripple from his mother’s womb. This same man heard Paul speak Having, it seems, been laid... 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

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 14:9-10

As is true of other similar references to a healed person’s faith, this man’s confidence was in God. He believed God could heal him, not that God would do so. Confidence that God would heal him, in other words, is not what made him whole. It was confidence that God through His servant could heal him that constituted his faith (e.g., Matthew 9:28-29; Mark 9:22-24). His faith was a factor in his receiving healing (cf. Mark 6:5-6).". . . Paul and Barnabas had the gifts of an apostle, the sign... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 14:1-28

First Missionary Journey (continued)1-7. Paul and Barnabas at Iconium. The gospel meets with great success among both Jews and Gentiles in this populous city, and miracles are wrought in confirmation of the faith.2. The first persecution at Iconium, which probably took the form of arraigning the apostles before the magistrates, failed. Accordingly the second persecution (Acts 14:5) took the form of a popular tumult. Acts 14:2 reads thus in D, ’But the rulers of the synagogue of the Jews raised... read more
