G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 19:1-41

The result of the work of Apollos was manifest when Paul reached Ephesus. There he found a company of sincere disciples to Jesus as He had been revealed by John. To them Paul declared the truth in its fulness, and they entered into the experience of the new birth by receiving the Holy Spirit. For two years Paul remained in Ephesus as a center, influencing all the district. A survey of the whole account shows how all kinds of facts and forces were pressed into the service of the Word.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:21-41

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:23-41

A Stirring in Ephesus On Account of the Name of Artemis (19:23-41). In considering what follows we should note two things about its context: · Firstly that it introduces the final section of Acts (Acts 19:21 to Acts 28:31) which leads up to the triumph of the Kingly Rule of God in Rome (Acts 28:30-31), by illustrating the emptiness of the royal rule of Artemis and of Rome, a royal rule which seeks to undermine those who proclaim the Name of Jesus. · Secondly that it follows up Acts 19:17-19... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:36

“Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.” So the city clerk pointed out that as no one could deny these things they should take matters quietly and not do anything rash. They needed to be calm and look at matters sensibly, or otherwise they would simply bring down trouble on them all. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:23-41

Acts 19:23-Mark : . Tumult at Ephesus.— A change of religion (for “ the Way,” cf. Acts 9:2) bears hardly on certain trades. In ch. 16 the Gospel interfered with the trade of soothsaying; here the art of the silversmith suffers. This opens a large chapter in the early history of Christianity ( cf. Tertullian, On the Public Games; The Soldier’ s Crown) . Demetrius, to judge from his speech, is rather an employer than a craftsman. His business has been falling off, or he fears it may do so.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 19:36

He did there cunningly than honestly endeavour to evade their clamour, and still their rage, by telling them (how fallaciously soever), that neither Paul, nor any other Christian or Jew, had any quarrel with their goddess or worship. For they indeed were against all images that were made with hands; but theirs was not such a one, it being fallen down from heaven. We must consider he was but a pagan; and his design was only to still the people; and populus vult decipi. read more

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 19:23. The way.—See on Acts 9:2.Acts 19:24. Demetrius.—The name has been found in an inscription, exhumed in Ephesus and supposed (Hicks) to belong to A.D. 50–60, recording a public honour decreed to the Neopoioi or temple wardens of Ephesus in the year of Demetrius. Silver shrines for (rather of) Diana.—Not silver coins stamped with the picture of the temple (Beza, Scaliger, Piscator), but miniature representations in silver of the temple, which strangers visiting the city... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 19:1-41

Chapter 19And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth [watering what Paul had planted], Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus; and there he found certain disciples [that no doubt, had been planted by Apollos], he said unto them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? ( Acts 19:1-2 ).Now there are those who object strenuously to that translation, and the Revised Version of the Bible demonstrates their objection. For the Revised Version translates... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 19:1-41

Acts 19:1 . Paul came to Ephesus, a city of Ionia, built by the Amezones. Its temple of Diana was one of the seven wonders of the world; but Pompey plundered it of all its riches. This city is now in ruins, with few inhabitants. Smyrna, forty five miles north-west, having a fine port, has taken away its ancient glory. In the time of St. Paul, it was reckoned the glory of all Asia. Acts 19:2 . Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? The rabbins were grossly dark and deficient... read more

Acts 19:24-41A certain man named Demetrius.Paul and DemetriusThe application of these words to present day life is a task that might be assigned to a child. Demetrius never dies; his word is to be heard in every tongue; he is present in great force in every Church, as representing two special phases of life. With the subtlety of selfishness he puts the case with comical adroitness. He knows the value of a little piety. If it were a mere matter of trade, he could have lifted his noble self above... read more
