使徒行伝 16:33 JC

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Acts 16:33

Was baptized, being first told what he was to believe, and do. (Witham) --- Hence Catholics draw a very plausible argument for the baptism of infants, as it is very probable there were some infants in the family. See Estius, in different location. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:25-34

25-34 The consolations of God to his suffering servants are neither few nor small. How much more happy are true Christians than their prosperous enemies! As in the dark, so out of the depths, we may cry unto God. No place, no time is amiss for prayer, if the heart be lifted up to God. No trouble, however grievous, should hinder us from praise. Christianity proves itself to be of God, in that it obliges us to be just to our own lives. Paul cried aloud to make the jailer hear, and to make him... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 16:1-99

Acts 16 THIS CHAPTER OPENS with Paul back at Derbe and Lystra, back, that is, to the scenes where he had suffered the stoning. In those very places he now finds Timothy, who was to become in his latter years such a comfort to him. A happy illustration of how God’s government acts in favour of the godly. We are apt to think of it only as acting against the ungodly. Out of the place of Paul’s sufferings sprang one of his greatest comforts. Now as Timothy’s father was a Greek he had not been... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 16:29-34

The conversion of the jailer: v. 29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, v. 30. and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? v. 31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thy house. v. 32. And they spake unto him the Word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. v. 33. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized,... read more

C.—DIVINE INTIMATIONS CONDUCT THE APOSTLE TO EUROPE. SUCCESSFUL COMMENCEMENT; HOSTILITIES AND IMPRISONMENT; BUT ALSO DIVINE DELIVERANCE AT PHILIPPIActs 16:9-409And a vision appeared to Paul in [during, διὰ] the night: There stood a man of Macedonia [a Macedonian man], and prayed [besought] him, saying, Come [Cross] over into [to] Macedonia, and help us. 10And [But] after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured [sought] to go [to journey] into [to] Macedonia, assuredly gathering [as... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 16:32-34

Acts THE RIOT AT PHILIPPI Act_16:19 - Act_16:34 . This incident gives us the Apostle’s first experience of purely Gentile opposition. The whole scene has a different stamp from that of former antagonisms, and reminds us that we have passed into Europe. The accusers and the grounds of accusation are new. Formerly Jews had led the attack; now Gentiles do so. Crimes against religion were charged before; now crimes against law and order. Hence the narrative is more extended, in accordance with... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 16:25-40

Salvation in the Jail Acts 16:25-40 Some, as we have seen, are converted by the gentle opening of the heart; others amid the convulsions of the storm. The first knowledge of salvation may have reached the heart of the jailer through the saving of the possessed girl, Acts 16:17 . If only the heart is right with Christ, it can sing in the darkest night; and the impression of those holy songs must have wrought still further upon the conscience of this rough Roman official, who had treated his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 16:1-40

Here begins the account of Pads second journey. At Lystra he found Timothy. His action in the circumcision of Timothy is startling in view of the recent decision of the council. Some charge him with inconsistency, and yet perhaps it was a proof of a larger and deeper consistency. The beginning of this journey is noted for a remarkable experience. The Spirit compelled Paul to a course against his own inclination. At the end of that journey the man of Macedonia appeared to him, and the movement... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:1-40

The Expansion Of The Word In Cyprus and Asia Minor, With Satan’s Counterattack Being Defeated at an Assembly In Jerusalem, Which is Then Followed By Further Ministry (13:1-18:22). Jerusalem having forfeited its Messiah and its right to evangelise the world, the torch now passes to Antioch. For in his presentation of the forward flow of ‘the word’ Luke now had to find the next great forwards movement and he found it at Syrian Antioch. From there at the instigation of the Holy Spirit (the Holy... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:6-40

The Mission to Europe (16:6-19:20). Paul’s plans now seemed to begin to go awry. All doors seemed to be closing to him as in one way or another he was first hindered from going one way, and then another. But unknown to him it was to be the commencement of the mission to Europe. Why then does Luke emphasise these negative responses? It was in order to underline that when the move to go forward did come it was decisively under God’s direction. He was saying, ‘the Spirit bade him go’. We need not... read more
