Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 13:1-52

Acts 13:1 . The church that was at Antioch, which was counted one of the five apostolic churches. It is the true church by way of eminence, the synagogue having degenerated into a state of warfare with the Lord’s people. In this church there were certain prophets and teachers. The same distinction is observed by St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 12:0. and Ephesians 4:11. Also respecting Barnabas, as may be seen in Acts 4:36; Acts 9:27. And Simeon, surnamed Niger, probably from some swarthy... read more

Acts 13:2-13As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate unto Me Barnabas and Saul.The completion of the apostolateThis act was no conferring of the apostleship by the prophets and teachers; the apostles themselves had received no power from Christ to do that. Both the vocation and its bestowal could only come direct from God. Barnabas and Saul were appointed to fill up the vacant places caused by the execution of James the son of Zebedee, and by the withdrawal of... read more

Acts 13:3-12And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. Undying fameHistory has contemptuously obliterated from her annals the names of countless kings, who have set forth from their capitals for the scourge or conquest of nations at the head of armies, and with all the pomp and circumstance of glorious war; but centuries after these conquerors are in their turn forgotten, whom she still deigns to commemorate, she will preserve in the grateful memory... read more

Acts 13:12Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed.Two Pauls and a blinded sorcererNote--I. Opposition to the faith.1. Elymas “withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.” This is true the world over. The greater the opportunity the greater the opposition. The devil is ever on the lookout to defeat the servants of God and hinder the effect of truth.2. But opposition is overruled for good. The intense opposition of Elymas only served to draw the attention of the... read more

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

PART THIRD. CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE GENTILES. From Chapter Acts 13:1, to End of Acts. Through the remainder of his work Luke’s subject is the evangelization of the Gentiles, and his hero is Paul. His field is western Asia and Europe; his terminal point is Rome, and the work is the laying the foundation of modern Christendom. At every point, even at Rome, Luke is careful to note the Gospel offer to the Jews, and how the main share reject, and a remnant only is saved. And thus it appears that... read more

12. Done, believed The penal miracle performed upon the magus overthrew the divinity of his claims; performed by the apostle, it established his. So the superiority of the miracles of Moses over and in penalty upon the sorcerers of Egypt, and of Paul over and upon those of Ephesus, are specimens of the divine method of defeating the preternaturalisms and demonisms of paganism by the supernaturalisms and miracles of Jehovah and Jesus. Astonished Thrilled, electrified. The miracle... read more
