使徒行传 9:24-25 CUNPSS

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 9:24

But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him: but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.The mighty preaching of the erstwhile persecutor should have been enough to convert all who heard him. As Lange said:The miracle Christ performed upon the mind of such a man outshone the miracle upon men's bodies; giving such a man another heart was more than giving men to speak with other... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 9:24-25

Acts 9:24-25. And they watched the gates, &c.— This shews that there were great numbers engaged in this bloody design; forDamascus was a large city, and had many gates. Damascus now belonged to Aretas, king of Arabia, (see on Acts 9:2.) who governed it by an ethnarch, or deputy governor; compare 2 Corinthians 11:32-33. After Aretas had broken with his son-in-law Herod, very probably the Jews in general would have less interest in his dominions, and rather be watched and suspected by him.... read more

24, 25. they watched the gates night and day to kill him—The full extent of his danger appears only from his own account (2 Corinthians 11:32): "In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me"; the exasperated Jews having obtained from the governor a military force, the more surely to compass his destruction. read more

25. Then the disciples . . . by night let him down—"through a window" ( :-). by the wall—Such overhanging windows in the walls of Eastern cities were common, and are to be seen in Damascus to this day. :-. SAUL'S FIRST VISIT TO JERUSALEM AFTER HIS CONVERSION. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 9:1-31

C. The mission of Saul 9:1-31The writer focused our attention next on a key figure in the spread of the Christian mission and on significant events in the development of that mission to the Gentiles. Peter’s evangelization of Cornelius (ch. 10) will continue to advance this theme. Luke has given us three portraits of significant individuals in the evangelization of Gentiles: Stephen, Philip, and now, climactically, Saul. He stressed that Saul’s conversion and calling to be an apostle to the... read more

II. THE WITNESS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA 6:8-9:31In this next major section of Acts, Luke narrated three significant events in the life and ministry of the early church. These events were the martyrdom of Stephen, the ministry of Philip, and the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Luke’s presentation of these events was primarily biographical. In fact, he began his account of each event with the name of its major character (Acts 6:8; Acts 8:5; Acts 9:1). The time when these events took place was probably... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 9:23-24

It is hard to determine how "many days" had elapsed, but evidently Saul remained in Damascus several months. F. F. Bruce dated his return to Jerusalem about A.D. 35 and his conversion in 33. [Note: Bruce, Commentary on . . ., p. 205. Cf. Galatians 1:18.] This would mean that Saul was converted just a few months after Jesus’ ascension to heaven. [Note: Cf. Harold W. Hoehner, Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ, p. 143.] I think it is more probable that Saul became a Christian a little... read more

Saul’s escape from Damascus 9:23-25Luke included this incident to prove the genuineness of Saul’s conversion. He who had been persecuting to the death believers in Jesus had now become the target of deadly persecution because of his changed view of Jesus. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 9:24-25

It would have been natural for Saul’s enemies to watch the gates of Damascus since he would have had to pass out of one of them to leave the city under normal circumstances. "Disciples" everywhere but here in Acts refers to followers of Jesus. Here it describes followers of Saul probably to indicate that his preaching had resulted in some people coming to faith in Christ. Perhaps it was one of these disciples who owned the house on the wall from which Saul escaped the city.Paul described his... read more

Saul Becomes a Christian1-30. The Conversion of Saul is to regarded as a miraculous event. The way for it may have been prepared by Stephen’s speech, by the spectacle of the constancy of the Christian martyrs, and by Saul’s own consciousness of the imperfections of the Law (Romans 7:7 to Romans 8:11). Yet there is no indication that he was anything but a violent enemy of Christianity until the moment of his conversion. His own language on this point is quite clear (1 Corinthians 15:9; Galatians... read more
