Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 8:1-17

Acts SEED SCATTERED AND TAKING ROOT Act_8:1 - Act_8:17 . The note of time in Act_8:1 is probably to be rendered as in the Revised Version, ‘on that day.’ The appetite for blood roused by Stephen’s martyrdom at once sought for further victims. Thus far the persecutors had been the rulers, and the persecuted the Church’s leaders; but now the populace are the hunters, and the whole Church the prey. The change marks an epoch. Luke does not care to make much of the persecution, which is... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 8:1-13

Fruits of the Scattered Seed Acts 8:1-13 Evidently Stephen was beloved outside the precincts of the Church, for it would seem that the devout men who lamented his early death and carried his poor body to its burial were godly Jews who had been attracted by his earnest character. In the furious persecution that ensued under the leadership of Saul, neither sex nor age was spared. According to the subsequent statement of the arch-persecutor, the disciples of Jesus were dragged before the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 8:1-40

The popular outburst against Christianity evidenced in the martyrdom of Stephen was general. Members of the Church at Jerusalem were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. How dark the day seemed to be for the infant Church. Nevertheless, the overruling hand of God is seen in the movement. As they were scattered, the members did not cease their work. They went through Judea and Samaria preaching the Word. Philip, one of the recently chosen deacons, went to the city of Samaria. There a great... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Acts 8:1-9

The Great Persecution Acts 8:1-9 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We approach today the scenes that immediately followed Stephen's death. Satan, encouraged by Stephen's martyrdom, thinks to press on with fire and with flood, with stoning and with sword to exterminate the Christians. Let us consider how his tactics prospered. I. A GREAT PERSECUTION AROSE (Acts 8:1 ) Prior to this time there had been persecution; Peter and James had been thrown into prison; Stephen had been stoned. Now, however, the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 8:1-40

The Expansion of The Church As A Result of Persecution (8:1-12:25). How thrilled the Apostles must have been at this stage at the progress of the church. Through the first few years of the infant church they had suffered a few minor discomforts, but they had come through those triumphantly, and the church had continued to grow and grow. Jerusalem was ‘filled with their teaching’ and the work of caring for all the true people of God was now being successfully administered. And then came the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 8:6-7

‘And the multitudes gave heed with one accord to the things which were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did. For from many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice, and many who were palsied, and who were lame, were healed.’ His message was supported with signs and wonders beyond anything that they had seen before. Unclean spirits were cast out, and paralysed and lame people were healed. This went beyond anything that Simon could do.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 8:5-8

Acts 8:5-Ruth : . Philip at Samaria.— Philip’ s activity is given here beside that of Stephen. He belongs to the Seven, not to the Twelve, who remain at Jerusalem except when specially called elsewhere ( Acts 6:1-Joshua : *). More is heard of him in Acts 21:8. Samaria presented a very open field for every kind of doctrine, lying as it did on two great trade routes, and visited by people from all countries. The Samaritans had an attenuated Judaism, receiving the books of Moses only, and... read more
