Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:1-5

Acts 15:36 to Acts 16:5 . Shorter Account of Paul’ s Journey In Asia Minor.— The editor’ s hand is apparent throughout this section. We know from Galatians 2:13 the real reason of Paul’ s difference with Barnabas, which was one of principle; here it is reduced to a personal matter. Instead of Titus, who ( Galatians 2:3) was not compelled to be circumcised, we have Timothy, who was circumcised by Paul ( Acts 16:1-Leviticus :). In Acts 16:4 Paul acts as a delegate of the Jerusalem church,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 16:1

Derbe and Lystra; of these cities see Acts 14:6. Timotheus; who was known unto Paul from his childhood, 2 Timothy 1:5, and accompanied him in many journeys, 2 Timothy 3:10,2 Timothy 3:11, and is called by him, his work-fellow, Romans 16:21. A certain woman, called Eunice; being one of them that had believed in Christ in Judea, and had a holy woman to her mother, named Lois. His father was a Greek: although it was not lawful for a Jew to marry a woman of another nation, yet some think that a... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 16:1-5

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 16:1. Derbe and Lystra (see Acts 14:6) are now visited by Paul and Silas in reverse order to that followed in the first journey. There meant Lystra, not Derbe, as has been wrongly inferred out of Acts 20:4. The son of a certain woman, etc., should be, the son of a believing Jewish woman, whose name was Eunice, the daughter of Lois (2 Timothy 1:5), both pious females who instructed him in the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15), but of a Greek father, whoError!

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 16:1-40

We remember at the end of our study last week there arose a contention between Paul and Barnabas who had been close companions on the first missionary venture of the church. But because Barnabas was insisting on taking his nephew John Mark, who deserted Paul and Barnabas on the first trip, Barnabas was wanting to take him on the second trip and Paul was objecting because of his defection on the first trip. They had a dispute over this, contention so great that Barnabas took Mark and headed off... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 16:1-40

Acts 16:1-2 . Then came he to Lystra, as in Acts 14:6. In their former labours in that city, Lois a jewess, her daughter Eunice, and Timothy her son, had embraced the faith. Now, they found Timothy growing in grace, and in the knowledge of the Lord. His grandmother Lois had instructed him in the scriptures from a child; and the spirit of prophecy had already designated him for the sanctuary. Timothy, though now very young, was of good report; but his father being a Greek, had not consented... read more

Acts 16:1-3Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and behold a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus.Timotheus1. The first of Paul’s missionary journeys reached its furthest limit at Lystra--the most uncivilised place he ever visited. Even here, however, he left a Church which he now found standing steadfast, and among its members a youth of peculiar promise, who bore the now famous name of Timothy.2. On the mother’s side Timothy was a Jew. Both mother and grandmother were devout, and it is... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 16:1

1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: Ver. 1. But his father was a Greek ] Both by nation and religion. This was an unlawful marriage, Exo 34:10-17 Deuteronomy 7:1-5 , and might be a means to humble the good woman, when once she came to a sight of her sin. David had his best children by Bathsheba, as Solomon, Nathan, of whom came Christ, &c.... read more

Derbe and Lystra Leaving Antioch by crossing over the bridge of the Orontes, our apostle, with his new coadjutor, passes into his native Cilicia through what was called the Syrian Gates, being a narrow gorge between the mountains, affording the sole entrance.
