Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:15

And saying, Sirs - Greek: Men.Why do ye these things? - This is an expression of solemn remonstrance at the folly of their conduct in worshipping those who were human. The abhorrence which they evinced at this may throw strong light on the rank and character of the Lord Jesus Christ. When an offer was made to worship Paul and Barnabas, they shrank from it with strong expressions of aversion and indignation. Yet when similar worship was offered to the Lord Jesus; when he was addressed by Thomas... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:16

Who in times past - Previous to the gospel; in past ages.Suffered all nations - Permitted all nations; that is, all Gentiles, Acts 17:30. “And the times of this ignorance God winked at.”To walk in their own ways - To conduct themselves without the restraints and instructions of a written law. They were permitted to follow their own reason and passions, and their own system of religion. God gave them no written laws, and sent to them no messengers. Why he did this we cannot determine. It might... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 14:17

Nevertheless - Though he gave them no revelation.He left not himself without witness - He gave demonstration of his existence and of his moral character.In that he did good - By doing good. The manner in which he did it, Paul immediately specifies. Idols did not do good; they conferred no favors, and were, therefore, unworthy of confidence.And gave us rain from heaven - Rain from above - from the clouds, Mark 8:11; Luke 9:54; Luke 17:29; Luke 21:11; John 6:31-32. Rain is one of the evidences of... read more

Acts 14:11-12 . And when the people Who were present when this wonderful cure was wrought; saw what Paul had done By merely speaking a word, being all in raptures of astonishment; they lifted up their voices In loud acclamations; saying, The gods are come down Which the heathen supposed they frequently did, Jupiter especially. But how amazingly does the prince of darkness blind the minds of them that believe not! The Jews would not own Christ’s Godhead, though they saw him work... read more

Acts 14:13-17. Then the priest of Jupiter Who was esteemed the tutelar deity of that place, and whose statue stood just without the gate; brought oxen, or bulls rather, and garlands To put on the victims; the usual offerings to Jupiter; to the gates Of the place where Paul and Barnabas were; and would have done sacrifice to them To acknowledge the obligation they were under to them for this condescending and beneficent visit, and to take this opportunity of imploring their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 14:1-28

Other churches in Galatia (14:1-28)Paul and Barnabas moved on to the town of Iconium, where events followed the same pattern as in Antioch. They preached in the synagogue and both Jews and Gentiles believed. But as the number of converts increased, the people of the city became clearly divided between supporters of the apostles and supporters of the Jewish leaders. Because of the threat of murder, the apostles fled the city and went to Lystra (14:1-7).When the apostles healed a crippled man in... read more
