使徒行传 26:29 RCUVSS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 26:29

I would to God - I pray to God; I earnestly desire it of God. This shows:(1) Paul’s intense desire that Agrippa, and all who heard him, might be saved.(2) His steady and constant belief that none but God could incline people to become altogether Christians. Paul knew well that there was nothing that would overcome the reluctance of the human heart to be an entire Christian but the grace and mercy of God. He had addressed to his hearers the convincing arguments of religion, and he now breathed... read more

Acts 26:25-29. But he said Calmly, and with a perfect command of himself, not in the least provoked by such an invidious imputation; I am not mad, most noble Festus A title properly belonging to a Roman propretor. How inexpressibly beautiful is this reply! How strong! yet, how decent and respectful! Madmen seldom call men by their names and titles of honour. Thus, also, Paul refutes the charge. But utter the words of truth Confirmed in the next verse; and soberness The very reverse 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 26:29

And Paul said, I would to God, that whether with little or much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.Paul's reply shows that he believed Agrippa's response was that of one half-converted, hence the insistence of this appeal. The very use of the honored and holy word "Christian" by such a one as Agrippa is in itself weighty. (See dissertation on this word under Acts 11:26.) One should be on guard against the allegations of a certain... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 26:29

Acts 26:29. And Paul said, I would to God, &c.— "When I consider this apostle (says that great enemy of Christianity himself—Lord Shaftesbury,) as appearing either before the witty Athenians, or the Roman court of Judicature, in the presence of their great men and ladies, I see how handsomely he accommodates himself to the apprehensions and temper of those politer people, &c." St. Paul is thought to have had his chain now wrapped about his own arm, and that he was not chained to a... read more

29. I would to God, &c.—What unequalled magnanimity does this speech breathe! Only his Master ever towered above this. not only . . . almost . . . but altogether—or, "whether soon or late," or "with little or much difficulty." except these bonds—doubtless holding up his two chained hands (see on :-): which in closing such a noble utterance must have had an electrical effect. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 26:23-32

Paul’s defense before Agrippa 25:23-26:32This is the longest of Paul’s five defenses. It centers on the gospel with an evangelistic appeal rather than on the charges against Paul. This emphasis harmonizes with Luke’s evangelistic purpose in Luke and Acts and is a fitting climax to that purpose. It also documents God’s faithfulness in allowing Paul to witness before kings (cf. Acts 9:15)."Inherent in Luke’s account are at least three apologetic themes: (1) Paul’s relations with the Roman... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 26:29

Paul responded to the king very politely but firmly. He wished that all his hearers, not just Agrippa, might become Christians. Paul’s reference to his chains may have been literal-he may have been wearing chains as he spoke-or perhaps metaphorical-he may have been referring to his condition as a prisoner. I am not aware of any evidence that Agrippa ever became a Christian."The speech before King Agrippa is more than a defense speech. It begins as a defense speech (cf. Acts 26:1), and it... read more
