使徒行传 20:10-12 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:1-16

Scenes by the way. I. FUGITIVE SERVICE . "When they persecute you in one city, flee into another," had said the Lord. But not as a hireling who sees the wolf coming; rather as a brave warrior who retreats fighting. The brave retreat may reflect more honor than the hopeless prolongation of warfare. We must know when to give way. There is a "wise passiveness" and a "masterly inactivity." If we can but gain our Christian point, we should suffer no scruple of vanity to stand in our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:6-12

The seven days' halt at the gateway between Europe and Asia. This seven days' stay at Troas may be safely presumed to have had points of special interest about it. The seven ( Acts 20:4 ) who accompanied Paul into Asia were here found awaiting him and Silas and the historian. These ten, beside any others possibly with them, must have been the welcomed visitors of the disciples at Troas. Memory dwelt upon Troas, for it was the place where, in the vision of the night ( Acts 16:9 ), Paul... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:7-12

A legacy of Divine testimony. The position of Troas such that any startling event would spread its influence East and West—to Asia and Europe. Paul leaving the scenes of his labors, never more to be seen in them. Some news of contentions in Corinth might disturb the Churches. Asiatic believers would especially need every support. The occasion very solemn. Eucharistic service. Paul's long discourse, interspersed probably with questions and answers. Many last words to be said. Enemies... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:9-10

Sleepy Eutychus. Explain precisely what happened. The window was a lattice opening, and, for the sake of air to the crowded room, the lattices were put aside. How crowded the house was is intimated by the presence of some people in this third story. There they would be sure to feel oppressed by the heat of the house. Eutychus may have fallen into the street, but it is more likely that he fell into the hard paved courtyard. For a similar fall, see the account of the death of Ahaziah, King... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:9-11

Earnestness in preaching and hearing. The subject is suggested by the conversation, or the address, being lengthened out by the mutual affection of St. Paul and his audience. They were unwilling for him to cease; he was unwilling to keep back anything that might be a help and a blessing to them. That night there were just the conditions that made "long preaching" advisable, and prevented its being thought a weariness. The impulse of the preacher is such an audience; the joy of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:10

Make ye no ado for trouble not yourselves, A.V. Fell on him , and embracing him said ; imitating the action of Elijah and Elisha ( 1 Kings 17:17-21 ; 2 Kings 4:34 ). Make ye no ado ( μὴ θορυβεῖσθε ) . θόρυβος and θορυβεῖσθαι are words especially used of the lamentations made for the dead. Thus when Jesus came to the house of Jairus, he found the multitude outside the house, θορυβούμενον , "making a tumult." This is still more clearly brought out in Mark... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:11

And when he was gone up for when he therefore was come up again, A.V.; the bread for bread, A.V. and T.R.; had talked with them for talked, A.V. Had broken the bread ; i.e. the bread already prepared, and spoken of in Acts 20:7 (where see note), but which had not yet been broken in consequence of Paul's long discourse. And eaten . γενσάμενος does not seem to mean "having eaten of the bread broken," for the word is never used of the sacramental eating of bread. That... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 20:10

And fell on him ... - Probably stretching himself on him as Elisha did on the Shunammite’s son, 2 Kings 4:33-35. It was an act of tenderness and compassion, evincing a strong desire to restore him to life.Trouble not yourselves - They would doubtless be thrown into great consternation by such an event. Paul therefore endeavoured to compose their minds by the assurance that he would live.For his life is in him - He is restored to life. This has all the appearance of having been a miracle. Life... read more

Come up again - To the upper room, Acts 20:8.And had broken bread, and eaten - Had taken refreshment. As this is spoken of Paul only, it is evidently distinguished from the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. read more
