The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 19:1-7

Essential but insufficient; valuable but temporary. We have here, in connection with the Christian faith and with Christian work— I. THE ESSENTIAL BUT THE INSUFFICIENT . ( Acts 19:1-5 .) At Ephesus Paul met with disciples who had been baptized "unto John's baptism" (verse 3), but who had not learnt to exercise faith in Jesus Christ, nor even heard that there was a Holy Ghost (verse 2). These men were well on the way to salvation by Jesus Christ, but they were far from the... read more

Paul and the Baptist's disciples. I. LESSONS FROM PAUL IN THIS RELATION . His care for souls is comprehensive, zealous, and wise. 1. "Have ye received the Holy Ghost?" Is your religion genuine? Is it profound? Is it a living consciousness of God within the soul? Or a dependence on forms, on creeds, on ideas merely? How many trained and taught as Christians must answer, "We know not yet the Holy Spirit"! the new birth, the love, "the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 19:1-7

Practical exemplification of Christian doctrine. The principles involved in the case of Apollos might be lost sight of for lack of examples. He himself was so distinguished. The Church needed to be taught by a more prominent and wider illustration. The distinctions insisted on by Paul essential to Christianity. Hence the whole episode of the appearance of Apollos on the scene ordered providentially. Paul's journey through Upper Asia to Ephesus possibly hastened by his desire to watch over... read more

The advance. The founding of a Church at Ephesus, the capital city of Proconsular Asia—a great center of Greek and Asiatic life, civil, religious, and commercial, the seat of the famous temple of Artemis, the place of concourse of all Ionia for its celebrated games—is one of those great epochs in the history of Christianity which arrest the attention and demand the consideration of the Christian reader. Not above two years (if so much) had elapsed since the Holy Ghost had expressly... read more

Baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and its sequel The exceeding economy of Scripture will prevent our supposing that these verses lie on the page of Scripture for no end, and will equally prevent our supposing they are present for no distinct and important end. Starting from quite the opposite creed, we are led to notice— I. THAT THE STRESS OF THE PASSAGE BELONGS , NOT TO THE SUBJECT OF BAPTISM , BUT TO THE SUBJECT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT . The... read more

He said for he said unto them, A.V. and T.R.; into for unto (twice), A.V. Into what then were ye baptized ? Nothing can mark more strongly the connection between baptism and the reception of the Holy Spirit than this question does. For it implies, "How could you be ignorant of the giving of the Holy Ghost if you were duly baptized?" (comp. Acts 2:38 ) The answer explains it, "We were baptized with John's baptism, to which no promise of the gift of the Holy Ghost was attached." read more

And when for when, A.V.; into for in, A.V. Into the Name of the Lord Jesus (see Acts 8:16 ). So too Acts 10:48 of Cornelius and his company, "He commanded them to be baptized in the Name ( ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι ) of Jesus Christ" (R.V.). The formula of baptism, as commanded by the Lord Jesus himself, was, "In [or, 'into'] the Name ( αἰς τὸ ὔνομα ) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" ( Matthew 28:20 ). But the candidate always first made a profession of... read more

John verily baptized - John did indeed baptize.With the baptism of repentance - Having special reference to repentance, or as a profession that they did repent of their sins. See the notes on Matthew 3:6.Saying unto the people - The design of his preaching was to tarn the people from their sins, and to prepare them for the coming of the Messiah. He therefore directed their attention principally to him that was to come, John 1:15, John 1:22-27.That is, on Christ Jesus - These are the words of... read more
