使徒行伝 9:27-29 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 9:23-31

Luke here makes no mention of Paul's journey into Arabia, which he tells us himself was immediately after his conversion, Gal. 1:16, 17. As soon as God had revealed his Son in him, that he might preach him, he went not up to Jerusalem, to receive instructions from the apostles (as any other convert would have done, that was designed for the ministry), but he went to Arabia, where there was new ground to break up, and where he would have opportunity of teaching, but not learning; thence he... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 9:26-31

9:26-31 When he arrived in Jerusalem he tried to make contact with the disciples. They were all afraid of him because they did not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and told them the story of how, upon the road, he had seen the Lord and that he had spoken with him, and that in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. He went in and out with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. He talked and debated with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 9:27

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles ,.... To Peter and James, the brother of our Lord, for no other apostles did he see at this time, Galatians 1:18 . It is probable that Barnabas had been at Damascus, and had there related to him, the whole account of Saul's conversion and entrance on the ministry, which he gives a particular relation of, as follows: and declared unto them, how he had seen the Lord in the way ; he told the apostles, Peter and James, how that Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 9:28

And be was with them ,.... Peter and James, and the rest of the disciples; he lived with them, conversed with them, and joined with them in all religious exercises; which is signified by his coming in and going out at Jerusalem ; no one of the apostles or disciples forbidding or hindering him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 9:29

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus ,.... He spoke the Gospel of Christ boldly, as it ought to be spoken; he spoke it openly, publicly, freely, and faithfully, not fearing the faces or revilings of any: the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions add, "to the Gentiles"; but this is not in any of the Greek copies: and disputed against the Grecians; or Hellenists, that is, the Hellenistical Jews; by whom are meant, not Greeks proselyted to the Jewish religion, but Jews who had been... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 9:27

Barnabas - brought him to the apostles - That is, to Peter and James; for others of the apostles he saw none, Galatians 1:19 . It appears that he went up at this time to Jerusalem merely to see Peter, with whom he abode fifteen days, Galatians 1:18 . How it came that the apostles and Church at Jerusalem had not heard of Saul's conversion, which had taken place three years before, is not easy to be accounted for. The following considerations may help; It is certain that intelligence did... read more

He was with them coming in and going out - Freely conversing and associating with them; but this seems to have continued only fifteen days. See Galatians 1:18 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 9:29

Disputed against the Grecians - That is, the Hellenistic Jews, viz. those who lived in Grecian cities, spoke the Greek language, and used the Septuagint version for their scriptures. And thus the Syriac version has interpreted this place. See the note on Acts 6:1 , where this subject is largely explained. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 9:27

Verse 27 27.When Barnabas had taken him. Whereas the disciples fled so fast from Paul, that was, peradventure, a point of too great fearfulness, (621) and yet he speaketh of none of the common sort, but of the apostles themselves. But he doth either extenuate or lighten their fault, because they suspected him for just causes, whom they had found and tried (622) to be such a deadly enemy; and, it was to be feared, lest they should rashly endanger themselves if they should have showed themselves... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 9:28

Verse 28 28.Luke saith afterwards that Paul went in and out with the disciples, which speech signifieth amongst the Hebrews familiarity, as the inhabitants of cities are said to go in and out at the gates of the city. Therefore after that Paul was commended by the testimony of Barnabas, he began to be counted one of the flock, that he might be thoroughly known to the Church. Luke saith again that he dealt boldly in the name of the Lord, by which words he commendeth his (stoutness and) courage... read more
