Verse 43
43. Congregation was broken up Namely, after the going out of the previous verse, whether of offended Jews or of apostles only.

And religious proselytes Namely, Gentile monotheists, being a commencing number enlarged at Acts 13:48.

How often the impressions produced during a faithful sermon are breathed away by the fresh air after leaving the house of God! How all important it is that the mind of the convicted person should refuse to allow the gracious impression to depart like the morning dew!

Be the first to react on this!
