使徒行传 13:38 CUVS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 13:16-41

Paul’s synagogue sermon in Antioch of Pisidia 13:16-41Luke recorded three of Paul’s evangelistic messages to unbelievers: here in Pisidian Antioch, in Lystra (Acts 14:15-17), and in Athens (Acts 17:22-31). This is the longest of the three, though Luke quite certainly condensed all of them. This one takes most people less than a minute to read."He [Paul] may have written out notes of this sermon afterwards for Luke. The keynotes of Paul’s theology as found in his Epistles appear in this sermon."... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 13:38-39

Paul ended his historical review with an exhortation and appeal to his readers (cf. Acts 13:15). He now addressed his two types of hearers collectively as "men brethren" (Acts 13:38, Gr. andres adelphoi). When it comes to responding to the gospel, all people, Jews and Gentiles, are on the same level. Through Jesus, Paul asserted, everyone who believes (the only condition) has forgiveness of sins (cf. Acts 2:38; Acts 10:43) and justification (God’s judicial declaration of righteousness, cf.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 13:38

(38) Men and brethren.—Better, brethren, simply.Is preached . . .—The force of the Greek tense emphasises the fact that the forgiveness was, at that very moment, in the act of being proclaimed or preached.Forgiveness of sins.—This forms the key-note of St. Paul’s preaching (here and in Acts 26:18), as it had done of St. Peter’s (Acts 2:38; Acts 5:31; Acts 10:43), as it had done before of that of the Baptist (Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3), and of our Lord Himself (Matthew 9:2; Matthew 9:6; Luke 7:47; Luke... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 13:1-52

From this time our attention is drawn particularly to the work of Saul, whose name is in this chapter changed to Paul, meaning "little," for one who is the most greatly used of God is, in his own estimation "less than the least of all saints" (Ephesians 3:8). In verse 1 there is no indication that anyone had a place superior to any other. Five prophets and teachers are mentioned as being in the Antioch assembly, and Saul is in fact listed last. Simeon's name is Jewish, but his last name,... read more

Thou hast taken us up to the top of a mountain, and has shown unto us in the vision of faith the cloudless land. Thou dost surprise us oftentimes with a sight of the beautiful country.
