Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:22

22, 23. gave him audience to this word . . . then . . . Away with such a fellow from the earth, &c.—Their national prejudices lashed into fury at the mention of a mission to the Gentiles, they would speedily have done to him as they did to Stephen, but for the presence and protection of the Roman officer. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 22:1-21

Paul’s speech in his defense 22:1-21The speeches in Acts so far have been mainly in the form of deliberative rhetoric, the purpose of which is to make people change their minds and lives in view of the future. In chapters 22-26, however, the speeches are forensic rhetoric, designed mainly for defensive and apologetic purposes. [Note: See ibid., pp. 660-61, for further discussion.] Paul needed to defend himself against the charge that he had been disloyal to his people, the Mosaic Law, and the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 22:21

Paul was to go to the Gentiles, the Messiah revealed to him, because the Jews would not accept his witness. Specifically the Lord directed Paul to go to the Gentiles who were far away, namely, Gentiles who had no relationship to Judaism (cf. Acts 2:39).F. F. Bruce concluded that in narrating Paul’s speeches Luke followed the precedent of the Greek historian Thucydides. Thucydides wrote that he composed the speeches in his history but tried to reproduce the general meaning of what the speakers... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 22:22

The Jews’ response 22:22Jews had taken messages from God to Gentiles many times in Israel’s past (e.g., Jonah; the Pharisees, Matthew 23:15; et al.). That revelation could not have been what infuriated Paul’s audience. What upset them was that Paul was approaching Gentiles directly about the Messiah without first introducing them to Judaism and its institutions. This was equivalent to placing Gentiles on the same footing before God as Jews, and this was the height of apostasy to the traditional... read more

St. Paul’s Defence1-21. St Paul’s Speech to the People. St. Paul was accused of (1) hostility to the Jews, (2) contempt for the Jewish Law, and (3) the desecration of the Temple. He answers all these charges by showing, (1) that he was a Jew by birth, trained by Gamaliel, and so zealous for the Law, that he had been a persecutor of the Christian faith; (2) that his conversion to Christianity was the result of a direct divine revelation, made first at Damascus, and confirmed by a subsequent... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 22:21

(21) I will send thee . . .—It may be noted, in connection with the question discussed in the Note on Acts 22:17, that the words convey the promise of a mission rather than the actual mission itself. The work immediately before him was to depart and wait till the way should be opened to him, and the inward call be confirmed, as in Acts 13:2, by an outward and express command.Far hence unto the Gentiles.—The crowd had listened, impatiently, we may believe, up to this point, as the speaker had... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 22:22

(22) Away with such a fellow from the earth.—The scene was ominously like that in which St. Stephen’s speech ended. Immediate execution without the formality of a trial—an eager craving for the blood of the blasphemer—this was what their wild cries demanded and expressed. On the words themselves, see Note on Acts 21:36. read more

God Shaping Man's Course Acts 22:14 There is one word in this passage which is of supreme importance. It is the keyword of the passage, and all the meaning of the passage depends on it. It is an unusual word in the New Testament in the original, though we are familiar with the word by which it is translated. It looks a simple word, but it is very broad, and deep and full. 'Chosen 'is the word. If it meant only what we are accustomed to read in it, it would mean a great deal. Here was a man who... read more

Twenty years and more had now elapsed since St. Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. These twenty years had been times of unceasing and intense activity. Now we come to some five years when the external labours, the turmoil and the... read more

CHAPTER 22 1. The Address of the Apostle (Acts 22:1-21 ). 2. The Answer from the Mob, and Paul’s Appeal to His Roman citizenship (Acts 22:22-30 ). What a scene it was! On the stairs, midway between the temple-court and the fortress, stood the Apostle in chains, his person showing the effects of the beating he had received. Around him were the well-armed Roman soldiers, and below the multitude, with up-turned faces, still wildly gesticulating and only becoming more silent when they heard the... read more
