Verse 13
my bonds , &c. = "my bonds in relation to Christ"; i.e. that my being a prisoner is not on account of any crime, but solely for preaching the gospel.
are = have become.
manifest . See App-106 .
palace . Greek. praitorion. Compare Matthew 27:27 , but Bishop Lightfoot gives good reasons why it could not at Rome be used of the palace, but must refer to the Praetorian guard. This accords with Acts 28:30 .
in all , &c. = to all the rest ( App-124 ), i.e. to the civilian population.
