Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:1-20

The Third Missionary Journey And The Ministry of Apollos (18:23-19:20). This section from Acts 18:23 to Acts 19:20 follows the section which has described Paul’s ministry from first leaving Antioch for his first missionary journey to his arrival back in Antioch after his second missionary journey (Acts 12:25 to Acts 18:22), in between which was sandwiched the enquiry at Jerusalem. It is thus not part of the Acts 12:25 to Acts 18:22 chiasmus. However, it is still a part of the section from Acts... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:8-20

Paul’s Continuing Ministry in Ephesus (19:8-20). Meanwhile we are reminded that Paul’s’ ministry continues in Ephesus in the proclamation of the Kingly Rule of God (compare Acts 1:3; Acts 8:12; Acts 14:22; Acts 20:25; Acts 28:23; Acts 28:31). Like the working of the Holy Spirit, and the expansion of ‘the word’ this idea of the proclamation of the Kingly Rule of God lies at the root of the book all the way through. And now, having ensured the giving of the Holy Spirit in the same way as at... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:19

‘And not a few of those who practised magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all, and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.’ And the result was that a goodly number of them who had practised magical arts brought their books and burned them openly in the sight of all. They were now only too glad to get rid of them and destroy them for they recognised them for what they were. Satan was in full retreat. It may well be that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:11-20

Acts 19:11-Proverbs : . Miracles, Exorcisms, Burning of Books of Magic.— Peter’ s shadow cured the sick ( Acts 5:15); Paul’ s minor articles of clothing do the same, according to the widespread belief of antiquity in the indirect communication of personal influence. The belief in possession is best known to us from the Gospels in Palestine; but Greek magical literature shows that it flourished vigorously in other countries also. A humorous story follows, about some wandering Jews who used the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 19:19

Thus their good works justified their faith, without which it had been dead, James 2:24,James 2:26. Curious arts; or rather idle and vain arts, as judicial astrology, calculating nativities, and all magical arts, which the Ephesians, of all others, were most addicted to and famous for; and may be here called curious arts, because they were so called by the Ephesians, who practised them; as also because these arts are about curiosities, not necessary for us to know. Otherwise they are diabolical... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 19:13-20

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 19:13. Vagabond.—I.e., wandering about, or strolling Jews, exorcists, by profession (compare Matthew 12:8). “They appear to have regarded Paul as one of their own class, but of a higher order” (Hackett). For we read I.Acts 19:14. Which did so should be doing this, as a habit—i.e., pretending to do so, because it cannot be assumed that they did so in reality. Christ’s language (Matthew 12:27) does not necessarily imply that the Jewish exorcists could successfully expel... read more

DISCOURSE: 1795GENUINE REPENTANCEActs 19:18-20. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and turned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.IT seems that, in former ages, Satan had a greater power over the persons and concerns of men than we at this time imagine him to possess. That, in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 19:1-41

Chapter 19And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth [watering what Paul had planted], Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus; and there he found certain disciples [that no doubt, had been planted by Apollos], he said unto them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? ( Acts 19:1-2 ).Now there are those who object strenuously to that translation, and the Revised Version of the Bible demonstrates their objection. For the Revised Version translates... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 19:1-41

Acts 19:1 . Paul came to Ephesus, a city of Ionia, built by the Amezones. Its temple of Diana was one of the seven wonders of the world; but Pompey plundered it of all its riches. This city is now in ruins, with few inhabitants. Smyrna, forty five miles north-west, having a fine port, has taken away its ancient glory. In the time of St. Paul, it was reckoned the glory of all Asia. Acts 19:2 . Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? The rabbins were grossly dark and deficient... read more

Acts 19:1-23While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul … came to Ephesus.--Ephesus was the third capital and starting point of Christianity At Jerusalem Christianity was born in the cradle of Judaism; Antioch had been the starting point of the Church of the Gentiles; Ephesus was to witness its full development, and the final amalgamation of its unconsolidated elements in the work of John, the apostle of love. It lay one mile from the sea in the fair Asian meadow where myriads of swans and other... read more
