Hechos 28:28-30 RVA

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:28

Verse 28− 28.Therefore be it. Lest the Jews may afterward accuse him of revolting, because he forsaketh the holy stock of Abraham, and goeth to the profane Gentiles; he denounceth that which the prophets did so often testify, that the salvation whereof they were the proper, at least the principal − (686) heirs, should be translated unto strangers. Notwithstanding, whereas he saith that salvation was sent to the Gentiles, he meaneth, in the second place, to wit, after that the Jews had rejected... read more

Verse 29− 29.Having much reasoning. No doubt, the wicked were more nettled because he cited the prophecy against them; for they are so far from waxing meek when they are reproved, that they are more inflamed with fury. This is the reason why they reasoned − (687) when they were gone out from Paul, because the more part would not be quiet. But seeing there was such disputing, it appeareth that some did so embrace those things which Paul had spoken, that they doubted not to defend and stoutly to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:30

Verse 30− 30.He received all. The apostle showed an excellent example of constancy, in that he offered himself so willingly to all those which were desirous to hear him. Surely he was not ignorant what great hatred he did purchase; and that this was his best way, if by holding his peace he might appease the hatred of his adversaries. For a man being desirous to provide for himself alone would not have done thus; but because he remembered that he was no less the servant of Christ, and a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 28:16-31

The fall. The main feature in these concluding verses of the Acts of the Apostles, as it is one of the most momentous incidents in the history of God's dealings with mankind, is the fall of Israel from their proper place in the Church of God. For nearly two thousand years, if we date from the call of Abraham, this one family had been separated from the rest of mankind, and eventually received institutions of such wonderful strength and vitality as to keep them separate through centuries of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 28:17-28

The Christian and the Jew. Here we have the Christian and the Jew brought into close contact; and there seems to have been as fair an opportunity for the latter to understand and appreciate the former as could ever have been granted. With calmness, with the wisdom and fullness of long study and mature experience, the most enlightened Christian apologist presented the case of Christianity to these men of the Jewish faith. We may look at— I. THE INTRODUCTION . Paul felt that his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 28:28

This salvation for the salvation, A.V. and T.R.; they will also hear for and that they will hear it, A.V. The A.V. gives the sense better than the R.V. This salvation ; τὸ σωτήριον . This form, instead of the more common σωτηρία , is found in Luke 2:30 ; Luke 3:6 ; and Ephesians 6:17 . The Gentiles (see Acts 13:46 ; Acts 18:6 ; Acts 22:26 ; Acts 26:1-32 . 17, 20, 23). But even at Rome the apostle of the Gentiles was faithful to the rule, "To the Jew first." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 28:29

(A.V.).—This verse is entirely wanting in the R.T. and R.V. It is omitted in many good manuscripts and versions. It is condemned by Grotius, Mill, Tischendorf, Lachmann, and others; but is not absolutely rejected by Meyer, Alford, Plumptre, and others. Great reasoning ( πολλὴν συζήτησιν see Acts 15:2 , Acts 15:7 ; and Luke 22:23 ; Luke 24:15 ; Acts 6:9 ; Acts 9:29 ). The phrase is in St. Luke's style, and the statement seems necessary to complete the narrative. read more

He abode for Paul dwelt, A.V. and T.R.; dwelling for house, A.V.; went for came. A.V. Two whole years . διετία occurs also in Acts 24:27 , and διετής in Matthew 2:16 ; τριετία in Acts 20:31 . These forms are frequent in the LXX . His own hired dwelling ; ἰδίῳ μισθώματι , only here. The word properly means "hire," the price paid for the use of anything, and then by metonymy "the thing which is hired." It occurs frequently in the LXX . in the sense... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 28:30-31

Concerning Christ and his kingdom "The kingdom of God, " which Paul preached in his own hired house for two years, was none other than the "kingdom of Christ," or the "kingdom of heaven" which Jesus announced, and conceiving which he said so much when he was on earth (see Matthew 6:33 ; Luke 22:29 ; John 18:36 ; Matthew 13:24-50 , etc.). Christ came for the purpose of establishing, or rather re-establishing, the kingdom of God on earth, of reinstating the Divine Father on the... read more

Paul's preaching at Rome. I. IT WAS A FULFILLMENT OF A PROMISE . ( Acts 9:15 .) II. IT WAS A PROPHECY OF THE FUTURE . Long has the world been ruled from Rome; though often through corrupt forms, the Spirit of Christ has gone forth from her to heal and to civilize. Slowly the dominion of Rome must melt to give place to the idea which she has represented—the world-wide dominion of the kingdom of God. III. IT WAS THE REALIZATION OF THE PREACHER ... read more
