사도행전 14:11-17 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:15

Bring you good tidings for preach unto you, A.V.; vain things for vanities, A.V.; who for which, A.V.; the heaven and the earth for heaven and earth, A.V. ; that in them is for things that are therein, A.V. For the declaration, We also are men of like passions with you , compare Peter's saying to Cornelius ( Acts 10:26 ), "Stand up; I myself also am a man." St. Paul finely contrasts the utter vanity, i.e. the impotence, lifelessness, uselessness, and unprofitableness of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:15

No gods, only God. The subject may be introduced by such a sketch of the incidents as will bring prominently forward these points. 1. The apostles wrought a miraculous healing. 2. Their act was seriously misconceived. 3. Pagan sentiments overwhelmed the Christian teaching. 4. The apostles most deeply felt the insult which the proposed sacrifice offered to the Divine honor and sole claim. Remember that the first and supreme truth to a Jew is the unity and spirituality Of... read more

God's ways with the nations. Attention is called to the sentence, "Who, in times past," or in bygone generations, "suffered all nations," or all the heathen, "to walk in their own ways." On this sentence Olshausen writes, "In the first place, Paul contrasts the present time, as the time of the Messiah, with former times, in which the heathen world, with no such light as the Jewish nation possessed, lived on in their own ways. In this thought is to be found the apology for the design of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:17

And yet for nevertheless, A.V.; you from heaven rains for us rain from hearer, A.V. and T.R.; your for our, A.V. and T.R. Observe how the apostle adapts his preaching to his hearers. How different this address to the heathen Lycaonians from those to Jews and proselytes! Here he leads them from nature to God; there from prophecy to Jesus. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 14:17

The witness of harvest-times. For the point as presented to a very different audience, see Romans 1:19 , Romans 1:20 ; Acts 17:28 . It has been remarked that the Greek words here used by the apostle are "so distinctly rhythmical that they suggest the thought that St. Paul quotes from some hymn of praise which he had heard in a harvest or vintage festival, and which, as with the altar to the Unknown God at Athens, he claims as due to him whom men ignorantly worshipped." A sentence... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:11

They lifted up their voices - They spoke with astonishment, such as might be expected when it was supposed that the gods had come down.In the speech of Lycaonia - What this language was has much perplexed commentators. It was probably a mixture of the Greek and Syriac. In that region generally the Greek was usually spoken with more or less purity; and from the fact that it was not far from the regions of Syria, it is probable that the Greek language was corrupted with this foreign admixture.The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:12

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter - Jupiter was the most powerful of all the gods of the ancients. He was represented as the son of Saturn and Ops, and was educated in a cave on Mount Ida, in the island of Crete. The worship of Jupiter was almost universal. He was the Aremon of Africa, the Belus of Babylon, the Osiris of Egypt. His common appellation was, The Father of gods and men. He was usually represented as sitting upon a golden or an ivory throne, holding in one hand a thunderbolt, and in... read more

Then the priest of Jupiter - He whose office it was to conduct the worship of Jupiter by offering sacrifices, etc.Which was before their city - The word “which” here refers not to the priest, but to Jupiter. The temple or image of Jupiter was in front of their city, or near the gates. Ancient cities were supposed to be under the protection of particular gods; and their image, or a temple for their worship, was placed commonly in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the city.Brought oxen -... read more

Which, when the apostles - Barnabas is called an apostle because he was sent forth by the church on a particular message (Acts 13:3; compare Acts 14:26), not because he had been chosen to the special work of the apostleship - to Dear witness to the life and resurrection of Christ. See the notes on Acts 1:22.They rent their clothes - As an expression of their abhorrence of what the people were doing, and of their deep grief that they should thus debase themselves by offering worship to human... read more
