使徒行传 21:14 CUVS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 21:14

Would not be persuaded - To remain. He was resolved to go.We ceased - We ceased remonstrating with him, and urging him to remain.The will of the Lord be done - They were now assured that it was the will of God that he should go, and they were now ready to submit to that will. This is an instance and an evidence of true piety. It was the expression of a wish that whatever God might judge to be necessary for the advancement of his cause might take place, even though it should be attended with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 21:1-16

To Jerusalem with the offering (20:13-21:16)From Troas Paul went by land to Assos, where he rejoined the rest of the party and sailed to Miletus (13-16). Since Miletus was only about fifty kilometres from Ephesus, Paul took the opportunity to call the elders of the Ephesian church to come and meet him. He wanted to give them some final encouragement and pass on helpful warnings (17).Paul’s opponents in Asia had probably been trying to turn the Christians against him. Therefore, he reminded the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 21:14

11-14. So shall the Jews bind the man that owneth this girdle, c.—For though the Romans did it, it was at the Jews' instigation (Acts 21:33 Acts 28:17). Such dramatic methods of announcing important future events would bring the old prophets to remembrance. (Compare Isaiah 20:2; Jeremiah 13:1; Ezekiel 5:1, &c.). This prediction and that at Tyre (Ezekiel 5:1- :) were intended, not to prohibit him from going, but to put his courage to the test and when he stood the test, to deepen and mature... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 21:14

Unable to dissuade him, Paul’s friends stopped urging him and committed the situation to the Lord."Perhaps he regarded Caesarea as his temptation and Gethsemane. If so, the congregation, catching the thought, echoed the garden prayer of Christ: The will of the Lord be done . . ." [Note: Blaiklock, p. 168.] "Paul is recognized and welcomed in Tyre and Caesarea as he was at earlier stops on his trip, and the disciples in these places show great concern for Paul’s safety. Widespread respect for... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 21:14

(14) The will of the Lord be done.—It is, perhaps, too much to see in these words an acceptance of his purpose as being in accordance with the will of the Lord. They were the natural expressions of resignation to what was seen to be inevitable, possibly used as a quotation from the prayer which the Lord had taught the disciples, and which He had used Himself (Luke 22:42). read more
