使徒行传 13:15 CUVS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 13:15

The reading of the law was commanded by Moses; and they say that Ezra commanded the reading of the prophets also in their synagogues, which was used, as we may see in Acts 13:27; and so divided into several sections, that once a year they might be all read over. The rulers of the synagogue; they were such as had the oversight of this service of God in their synagogues, that it might be performed according to the prescription. Men and brethren; a usual compellation which the Jews gave one... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 13:13-43

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 13:13. Paul and his company.—Note the two changes—first of Saul’s name, which is henceforth Paul, and next of Paul’s position in the mission as leader rather than as follower, as principal rather than as subordinate. οἱ περὶ Παῦλον (compare αἱ περὶ Μάρθαν καὶ Μαριάμ, Textus Receptus). The phrase perhaps hints that Paul had other unnamed companions besides Barnabas and John. Instead of loosed from read having set sail from; and for departing from them, having withdrawn from... read more

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 13:13-52Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia.Perga in PamphyliaBecause Perga was little known Pamphylia is subjoined. It was an ancient city on the river Cestrus, about seven miles from its mouth. The stay in it was very short, and there seems to have been no preaching till the return journey (Acts 14:25). Some of the perils from robbers and rivers (2 Corinthians 11:16) may have been encountered at this time. (Bp. Jacobson.)And John departing... 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
