使徒行传 13:4 CUNPSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Acts 13:1-4

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. (2) As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. (3) And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. (4) So they, being sent forth by the Holy... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 13:4-13

4-13 Satan is in a special manner busy with great men and men in power, to keep them from being religious, for their example will influence many. Saul is here for the first time called Paul, and never after Saul. Saul was his name as he was a Hebrew; Paul was his name as he was a citizen of Rome. Under the direct influence of the Holy Ghost, he gave Elymas his true character, but not in passion. A fulness of deceit and mischief together, make a man indeed a child of the devil. And those who are... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 13:1-99

Acts 13 THIS LARGE CHURCH, composed mainly of Gentiles, had no less than five prophets and teachers in its midst. Their names are given and prove very instructive; for one had a surname which probably indicates that he was a black man (Niger means Black), one was sufficiently distinguished to have been a foster-brother of Herod, Barnabas was a Hellenistic Jew, Saul had been a Pharisee of the Pharisees, and Lucius may have been a Gentile. Thus it was quite early manifest that race and breeding... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 13:4-7

On the island of Cyprus: v. 4. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. v. 5. And when they were at Salamis, they preached the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John to their minister. v. 6. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus; v. 7. which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a... read more

Acts TO THE REGIONS BEYOND Act_13:1 - Act_13:13 . We stand in this passage at the beginning of a great step forward. Philip and Peter had each played a part in the gradual expansion of the church beyond the limits of Judaism; but it was from the church at Antioch that the messengers went forth who completed the process. Both its locality and its composition made that natural. I. The solemn designation of the missionaries is the first point in the narrative. The church at Antioch was not... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 13:1-12

Beginning a Missionary Campaign Acts 13:1-12 This is one of the greatest chapters in the New Testament, making a new departure in the ministry of the gospel, which henceforth begins to pass out to the uttermost part of the earth, Acts 1:8 . It is likely that the mother church at Jerusalem was too conservative to lend herself to the pressure of the Holy Spirit, urging to world-wide evangelization, and that he had to employ the more mobile church at Antioch, which was more susceptible to the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 13:1-52

The first most distinctly missionary movement sprang from Antioch, and was independent of all official initiation. A company of those in Antioch sent Saul and Barnabas, and it is declared immediately afterward they were sent by the Holy Spirit. Saul and Barnabas started on this journey together. While especially glad to work among the Gentiles, Paul ever began with the Jew and the synagogue. In Antioch in Pisidia we find him reviewing his own history, and proclaiming his evangel. He made it... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 13:1-52

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's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 13:4

Barnabas and Saul Sail for Cyprus And Minister There (13:4-12). ‘So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.’ What was most important was that it was essentially the Holy Spirit Who was sending them forth. He had set them apart and now He was sending them. Note the great emphasis on the Spirit’s actions in sending them. This was a continuation of the work of Pentecost. They carried with them Apostolic authority for Barnabas was... read more
