Acts 13:29 NLT,NIV,ESV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 13:14-41

Perga in Pamphylia was a noted place, especially for a temple there erected to the goddess Diana, yet nothing at all is related of what Paul and Barnabas did there, only that thither they came (Acts 13:13), and thence they departed, Acts 13:14. But the history of the apostles? travels, as that of Christ?s, passes by many things worthy to have been recorded, because, if all had been written, the world could not have contained the books. But the next place we find them in is another Antioch,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 13:16-41

13:16-41 Then Paul stood up and made a gesture with his hand and said, "You Israelites, and you who are God-fearers, listen to this. The God of this people Israel chose out our fathers and he exalted the people when they lived as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a lofty arm he brought them forth from it. For forty years he bore with their ways in the wilderness. He destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan and gave them possession of their land, for about four hundred and fifty... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 13:29

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him ,.... When they had vilified and reproached him in the most opprobrious manner; buffeted and scourged him, and pierced his hands and his feet, by nailing him to the cross; when they had crucified him between two thieves, and parted his raiment and cast lots on his vesture; when they had pierced his side, and it was sufficiently evident that his life was taken from the earth; all which were written of him in the Psalms and Prophets: ... read more

They took him down from the tree - The apostle passes rapidly over several circumstances of his death, that he might establish the fact of his resurrection. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 13:29

Verse 29 29.When they had fulfilled all things; to wit, which it pleased God should be done by them. For they did so handle Christ that there was nothing of the prophecies of the Scripture left unfulfilled. By this means is the stumbling-block (which the understanding of the flesh conceiveth by reason of the ignominy of the cross) taken away, that the Son of God was not laid open to the furious fury of the wicked; but he obeyed his fathers decree. Furthermore, it doth also in Scripture appear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:13-52

Paul's missionary discourse at Antioch in Pisidia. We are introduced to one of those synagogue scenes which are of so much interest in connection with the early progress of Christianity. Here the gospel fought its foes and triumphed by the logic of love; here the seeds were sown which sprang up to cover the world with fruit. According to the ordinary practice, the officers of the synagogue invite the strangers to address the congregation. Paul rises. His address falls naturally into parts.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:14-41

The Christian faith. The Apostle of the Gentiles goes first to the synagogue of the Jews ( Acts 13:14 ). This partly, perhaps, because he would be most at home there and find a readier audience ( Acts 13:15 ); partly in accordance with the words of the Lord ( Luke 24:47 ). At liberty to speak by the courtesy of his countrymen, Paul preached the discourse which we have in the text concerning the faith of Christ. He shows— I. ITS BASIS IN HISTORICAL FACT . ( Acts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:14-41

Another faithful sermon to the Jew. It is pleasant to observe the traces, in every possible place, of the grace still held out to the Jew. It vindicates with emphasis "the long-suffering" of God, and the continuing force of the dying prayer of him whom those Jews "slew and hanged on a tree." And, though in a less degree, it is pleasant to observe how messengers and apostles, when they reach a new town, pay their first visit to the synagogue. This very thing the Apostle of the Gentiles ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:16-41

The New Testament in the Old. The expositions of the Scriptures of the Old Testament by the writers and speakers of the New Testament are worthy of our deepest attention, Not only do they draw out from those Scriptures particular instruction which of ourselves we should never, perhaps, have found there, but they supply us with irrefragable proofs of the unity of purpose which ordained the long sequence of events themselves, through many centuries, and also ordained that a faithful record... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:16-43

Paul's sermon in the synagogue at Antioch. I. The MAIN PURPOSE of it—to prove the Messiahship of Jesus, and therefore to proclaim the gate of life open. History of Divine grace pointing to clay of salvation. The course of thought in Paul's own mind, which led him to faith. II. The MAIN STRENGTH of the argument—the facts of the Savior's death and. resurrection. Paul could speak with special emphasis, though prudently avoided bringing in at this point his own conversion. ... read more
