使徒の働き 21:4 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:1-40

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's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:4

‘And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.’ There at Tyre they spent the customary ‘seven days’ and it was here that Luke mentions for the first time the prophecies concerning what was to happen to Paul. But that these had been happening with alarming frequency we have already learned from Acts 20:23. Here certain disciples who were prophets said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:1-6

Acts 21:1-Joshua : . From Miletus to Tyre.— The sailing is by day, with a following wind ( cf. Acts 20:15). After “ Patara” D adds “ and Myra,” where Paul touched on his journey to Rome (see Acts 27:5). Vessels from the East for Rome made for Myra and coasted from there. The vessel from Assos in which Paul was, whether or not chartered for the party, probably went no further than Patara or Myra; he had to tranship, and the rest of his voyage was on the open sea, past the SW. corner of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 21:4

Seven days; they tarried the rather so long, that they might worship and serve the Lord on his day together. Through the Spirit; by the Spirit of prophecy they foretold his sufferings at Jerusalem, which afterward accordingly befell unto him; and they, being ignorant of his undertaking that journey at God’s command, out of commiseration and pity dissuade St. Paul from going to such a place, where they foresaw that he should suffer so much: and this, it is said, they did through the Spirit,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 21:1-6

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 21:1. And it came to pass that after we had gotten from them and had launched.—Better, as well as literally, And when it came to pass that we had weighed anchor, having departed from them. The “we” certainly included Luke and, most probably, Trophimus (Acts 21:29) and Aristarchus (Acts 27:2); the others (Acts 20:4) presumably proceeded no farther. Timothy may even have returned with the elders from Miletus to Ephesus (1 Timothy 1:3). With a straight course shows the wind to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 21:1-40

Chapter 21And so it came to pass, that after we had gotten from them, and we had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the following day unto to Rhodes, and from there to Patara: where we found a ship that was sailing to Phenicia, and we got on board, and we set forth. And when we had sited the island of Cyprus, we went on the left-hand side, and sailed into Syria, and we landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unload her burden ( Acts 21:1-3 ).So Luke takes us now on the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 21:1-40

Acts 21:1 . We came with a straight course to Coos, or Cos. See the map of St. Paul’s travels. It is the principal island of the group called Cyclades. Hypocrates the physician, and Apelles the painter, were born here. And the day following unto Rhodes, an island about forty miles in length, and fifteen in breadth. According to the poets, Minerva rained here a shower of gold; that is, made the inhabitants rich by the art of statuary, in which they surpassed all other nations. So Pindar... read more

Acts 21:4And finding disciples,…who said to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.Conflicting inspirationsHow timid is man, how fearless is God, about Scripture contradictions! The disciples at Tyre “say to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.” Yet he goes. And when he goes, those who have heard the prohibitory voice of inspiration, say, “The will of the Lord be done.” The one was the Divine voice of prudence; the other was the Divine voice... read more
