使徒行传 22:30 CUVS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 22:17-30

Saved for Further Service Acts 22:17-30 To the story of his conversion, as given in Acts 9:1-43 , the Apostle here adds a detailed account of that memorable interview in the Temple, when he questioned the advisability of the Lord’s command that he should leave Jerusalem, and received his final and irrevocable commission to go to the Gentiles. It is a great privilege to be permitted to overhear this dialogue! How close and intimate is the disciple’s relationship with his Lord! God allowed... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:1-30

Paul's defense as here recorded is a rare and perfect example of Christian argument. He was defending his devotion to work among the Gentiles. In that defense the last word he was permitted to utter was the word "Gentiles." Immediately the fury of the crowds burst out. In that moment of crisis Paul broke once and forever with the trammels of the Judaic system. At this point we have a remarkable view of the condition of affairs in the church at Jerusalem. Quite evidently there were many who... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1-30

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:30

Paul Appears Before the Sanhedrin (22:30-23:9). The Lord Assures Him That As He Has Testified in Jerusalem So Will He Testify in Rome (23:10-11). The chief officer did not know quite what to do with Paul. He was not even quite sure of what the accusation against him was. At first it had been quite clear. He was an Egyptian insurgent, he was a blasphemer, he had taken Greeks into the inner temple, he was all that was bad (or so he had been told). Now having listened to Paul he was not so sure.... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:30

Acts 22:30 to Acts 23:10 . Paul Before the Sanhedrin.— This is a difficult section, and does not advance the action. Unless the proceedings took place in Greek, the tribune would scarcely secure his object of learning the charge against Paul; it is strange that he should have called a meeting of the Sanhedrin for this purpose, which could be reached otherwise. Paul is released from his chains and faces the court without them, and without the presence of military. He begins a speech which was... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:30

He loosed him from his bands; that he might not continue, after knowledge, in that (accounted) crime of binding a Roman citizen; as also that Paul might speak with the greater liberty and freedom in his own defence. The chief priests; the chief of the four and twenty courses amongst the priests, according to their families, or such as in place and dignity did excel in the sanhedrim. read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 22:1-30

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the twenty-second chapter of Acts. Pick up on Paul where we left him last week in that very dramatic moment. Paul in spite of repeated warnings from the Holy Spirit has returned to Jerusalem where he has received a very cool reception from the church and a very stern reception by the Jews. For while he was in the temple minding his own business, not doing anything to disturb anyone, going through the rite of purification according to the Jewish law in order... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 22:1-30

Acts 22:1 . Men, brethren, and fathers; that is, men of mixed nations assembled at the feast. The persecutors had said, men of Israel, help. Brethren, religious persons of the stock of Israel. Fathers, aged men, elders and priests. Stephen’s address was in similar terms. Acts 7:2. The words indicate innocence and confidence; for culprits durst not be so bold. Hear ye my defence: απολογια , my apology, my plea for my religion: this is a purer word than “defence.” Justin Martyr,... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 22:30

30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. Ver. 30. And brought Paul down ] sc. From the castle, or from the rock Antonia. See Acts 21:34 . read more
