使徒行传 26:17 CUVS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 26:17

Delivering thee from the people - From the Jewish people. This implied that he would be persecuted by them, and that the Lord Jesus would interpose to rescue him.And from the Gentiles - This also implied that he would be persecuted and opposed by them - a prospect which was verified by the whole course of his ministry. Yet in all he experienced, according to the promise, the support and the protection of the Lord Jesus. This was expressed in a summary manner in Luke 9:16.Unto whom now I send... read more

Acts 26:16-18. But rise and stand upon thy feet Though thou hast persecuted me and my followers in this outrageous manner, and hast been engaged in a desperate attempt to destroy them from the face of the earth, and, by so doing, hast forfeited thy life. I am determined graciously to spare it, and to use thee hereafter as the instrument of my grace. For I have appeared unto thee In this extraordinary manner; for this purpose, to make thee a minister Of my gospel; and a witness both of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 26:1-32

Paul again declared innocent (25:13-26:32)Among those who came to Caesarea to pay their respects to the new governor was Herod Agrippa II. This man was the son of Herod Agrippa I (the governor mentioned in 12:1-4,20-23) and the brother of Bernice and Drusilla (13; cf. 24:24; see ‘The New Testament World’). He was Rome’s appointed ruler over certain areas in the far north of Palestine, but he had no power in the region governed by Festus. He was, however, an expert on Jewish affairs (see... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 26:17

Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee.This verse was the Lord's solemn promise to Paul that he would be protected, not only from "the people," meaning the Jews, but from "the Gentiles" as well. Paul was repeatedly endangered from both sources. Only by such assurance could a man have acted with the courage Paul displayed throughout his career. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 26:17

17. Delivering thee from the people—the Jews. and from the Gentiles—He was all along the object of Jewish malignity, and was at that moment in the hands of the Gentiles; yet he calmly reposes on his Master's assurances of deliverance from both, at the same time taking all precautions for safety and vindicating all his legal rights. unto whom now I send thee—The emphatic "I" here denotes the authority of the Sender [BENGEL]. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 26:1-23

Paul’s speech to the dignitaries 26:1-23Paul was not on trial here. When he had appealed to Caesar (Acts 25:11), he had guaranteed that his next trial would be before the emperor. This was just a hearing designed to acquaint Agrippa with Paul’s case so Agrippa could give Festus help in understanding it and communicating it to the emperor."This testimony of Paul is not a defense of himself. It is a declaration of the gospel with the evident purpose of winning Agrippa and the others present to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 26:15-17

Paul brought Jesus’ words on the Damascus road (cf. Acts 9:5-6; Acts 22:8; Acts 22:10), His instructions through Ananias (cf. Acts 22:14-15), and His command in Paul’s Jerusalem vision (cf. Acts 22:18-21) together here. He did so to summarize and to stress the divine commission that Jesus Christ gave him concerning his particular mission in life (cf. Jeremiah 1:7-8; Ezekiel 2:1; Ezekiel 2:3). His reference to being sent to Gentiles would have drawn a favorable reaction from his Gentile... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 26:1-32

Defence before Agrippa1-32. St. Paul before Agrippa. This speech, though in form a defence to the Jews, is really intended by St. Luke to be St. Paul’s defence to the world—an apology for his whole life and work.Analysis. Opening compliment to Agrippa (Acts 26:2-3); the Apostle’s orthodox Pharisaic education (Acts 26:4-5); he is really called in question because he believes in the hope of all orthodox Jews, the coming of the Messiah, and the Resurrection (Acts 26:6-8); his persecution of the... read more
