CRITICAL REMARKSActs 11:19. Upon the persecution.—Or, tribulation, ἀπὸ πῆς θλίψεως: better, from (as an effect of) the persecution, that arose about Stephen, ἐπὶ Στεφάνῳ—i.e., on account of, rather than in the time of Stephen, which would have required ἐπὶ Στεφάνου. Phenice.—“The region of palms,” a narrow strip of territory about two hundred miles in length, with a varying breadth, never more than thirty-five miles, looking out upon the Mediterranean, having Syria upon the north, the country... read more

Acts 11:19-26 The Church at Antioch. I. This church was established by lay agency. II. It was a church established among the Gentiles. The text marks a new epoch in the history of the kingdom of God Jesus Christ had plainly intimated that the Gentiles also were to be admitted into the Christian fold. The Jewish Church was like the chrysalis containing life in an undeveloped state; the Christian Church is the chrysalis emerging in the winged butterfly, it looks disdainfully upon boundaries and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 11:1-30

Chapter 11And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. And when Peter was come back to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision had a fight with him, and they said, You went to men that were uncircumcised, and you ate with them. But Peter just rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it to them according to how it happened in order, and he said, I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A... read more

Acts 11:2 . They of the circumcision contended with him. Those who were zealous of the law, apprehending that Christ and his grace had only been promised and confined to themselves, the call and conversion of the gentiles became a dreadful stumblingblock even to the believing, as well as to the unbelieving jews. They contended with Peter for eating and conversing with the gentiles, especially for admitting them into communion without circumcision. Some tell us that the arch-heretic... read more

Acts 11:22-26Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the Church,…and they sent forth Barnabas.A St. Barnabas the need of the hourYou know the strain and the stress of the situation recorded in my text. We are speaking of Antioch, to which Barnabas is sent. Here, then, we have a strong, central, organised Church, going its own way on somewhat new lines, with a new environment, with a new development. And yet it causes a great deal of anxiety in those who are left at home in the old... read more

Acts 11:25-26Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus for to seek Saul.Saul brought to Antioch; buried talent called forth to its appropriate field of labourHow Saul had been employed all this time (Acts 9:30) we have no means of ascertaining. We cannot well doubt that he would bring the claims of Christianity before philosophers and urge the proofs that Jesus was the Messiah in the synagogue; nor can we doubt that his labours would be in some degree successful. The work at Antioch required one like... read more

Acts 11:27-30And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.Fruit from the Gentiles1. The relation between the old Church at Jerusalem and the new at Antioch was that which St. Paul, writing under parallel circumstances, described in Romans 15:27 (cf. 2 Corinthians 9:12-15). It was a becoming acknowledgment of the vast debt under which all the world must lie to the Jew, but it was no repayment of it, when rich Antioch sent bread to starving Judaea. Jerusalem sent prophets, Antioch... read more

26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Ver. 26. Called Christians ] Called so by divine direction, as the word χρηματισαι signifieth. There were, saith a learned antiquary, certain heretics who (as the Samaritans joined Jewish ceremonies with heathenish rites, so they) joined Christ and Moses, law and gospel,... read more

From Jerusalem unto Antioch ] The Church whereof was now grown so famous by the pious labours of Paul and Barnabas, that many holy and learned men resorted thither, as to a common school or academy. a So did various, in our forefathers’ days, to Zurich, Basil, Geneva, but especially to Wittenberg, where Luther and Melancthon laboured in the Lord’s work, to the good of many: " Divisae his operae, sed mens fuit unica;... read more
