Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:12-40

Ministry in Philippi From the House of Lydia (16:12b-40). The arrival in Europe was clearly seen by Luke as very important. He illustrates the successful ministry there by a threefold description of Paul’s effectiveness which covers a wealthy businesswoman, a slave girl and a jail proprietor, three different grades in a multiple society. And two of these along with their households, included servants and slaves. The threefoldness stresses the completeness of the success of the ministry. They... read more

Arrest and Imprisonment Lead To Additions To The Church In Philippi (16:19-34). But the problem was that what he had done would hit at men’s pockets. They did not care about the girl herself, they had not cared that she was making a nuisance of herself, they were not too concerned about what it meant to the gods, but they were concerned about one thing , and that was Mammon. What had happened would lose them a great deal of money and the result was that they were angry. They were a picture of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 16:33

‘And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptised, he and all his, immediately.’ Meanwhile the jailer had taken them immediately from the prison and washed their wounds. He was a changed man. We are probably to see that he did the washing himself. Unbeknown to him he was following in the footsteps of a Greater than he (John 13:1-5). This would presumably be done at a well in the courtyard of the house, and having heard more of ‘the word’ he and all his... read more

Acts 16:19-Nahum : . Imprisonment of Paul and Silas. The Prison Broken.— The “ rulers” ( Acts 16:19) are the heads of police; they are afterwards called Strategi, which answers to the Roman Prœ tores. Philippi was a colony, its magistrates were Roman, duoviri, and had the fasces, the Roman rods, showing their power to order a beating. The missionaries are accused of making a disturbance in the city, being Jews (Jews are generally unpopular, and at Philippi they are not strong), and of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 16:33

The same hour of the night; he did not delay to show forth the fruits of his faith, and real conversion. And washed their stripes; which his stripes had made, using such means as might assuage their pain, and heal their wounds. He and all his: See Poole on "Acts 16:15", See Poole on "Acts 16:32". Of baptism administered without any delay, upon their profession of faith in Christ, we have had examples, Acts 8:38; Acts 10:47, and in Acts 16:15. read more

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 16:19. The rulers, ἄρχοντες, were the town magistrates (Luke 12:58).Acts 16:20. The magistrates, στρατηγοί, were the two chief civic authorities (dunmviri) in a Roman colony town, and were usually styled prætors.Acts 16:20-21.

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

This appears not so much from his official acts; for the guilt of persecution rested on the people and magistrates: but from his conduct as depicted in Acts 16:26, in which we have the picture of a worldly, careless, godless man, driven to desperation by an unexpected temporal calamity. He had no fear of God, since he was more... read more
