L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:1-41

Paul returned to Ephesus, as he had promised. Of course there was an assembly there already, as chapter 18:27 intimates; but he found certain disciples who, at his questioning, tell him they had not even heard that the Holy Spirit had come. They had been baptized, but only with John's baptism. Therefore they were Jewish, of course. No doubt they had believed John's message that announced the Messiah as coming after him, but they had not been baptized to the name of the Lord Jesus. This shows... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Acts 19:1-41

THIRD JOURNEY As in the last lesson, it is recommended that the text of the present one be read through at a single sitting, and two or three times if possible, before considering the comments, which then will be more valuable. Some time had been spent again in Antioch, after which the whole territory of Phrygia and Galatia, in Asia minor, was once more traversed for the purpose indicated in 18:23. Ephesus was duly reached (Acts 19:1 ), where Paul found a condition of things explained by the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Acts 19:21-41

Chapter 73 Prayer Almighty God, we have heard of thy mercy, and therefore our hope is yet alive. We dare not look at thy law; we have broken its letter, we have grieved its spirit, we have trampled upon its purpose. We are not here to turn the altar into a place of self-defence, but to say with our inmost heart, "We have all sinned and come short of thy glory." We know what sin is, though we cannot tell. We have felt the darkness of that night-shadow, and it is deep and cold and full of fear.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Acts 19:21-41

After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. (22) So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. (23) And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. (24) For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:32-41

32-41 The Jews came forward in this tumult. Those who are thus careful to distinguish themselves from the servants of Christ now, and are afraid of being taken for them, shall have their doom accordingly in the great day. One, having authority, at length stilled the noise. It is a very good rule at all times, both in private and public affairs, not to be hasty and rash in our motions, but to take time to consider; and always to keep our passions under check. We ought to be quiet, and to do... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 19:1-99

Acts 19 AS WE OPEN this chapter, we find Paul arriving at Ephesus after Apollos had left, and there finding certain disciples, who were in a similar state of ignorance as to the full gospel message. They were truly “disciples,” and they had believed as much of the facts concerning Christ as they had heard. The Holy Ghost is given to those who believe “the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation” ( Eph_1:13 ). They had not believed it, because they had not heard it, and consequently they... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 19:35-41

The end of the riot: v. 35. And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? v. 36. Seeing, then, that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. v. 37. For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 19:30-41

the Lawlessness of Selfish Greed Acts 19:30-41 The theater of Ephesus still stands, and the writer of these words has spoken in its mighty enclosure, from the very spot where this town clerk-the model of officialism-must have stood to address and calm the frenzied crowd. Paul never knew the fear of man, and was with difficulty prevented from endangering his life in his desire to turn the occasion to account. He probably refers to this incident when he says that he fought with wild beasts at... read more
