Acts 13:44

Verse 44

5. Second Sabbath at Pisidian Antioch Jewish Unbelief and Gentile Faith , Acts 13:44-52 .

The apostles for one day had near a whole city for a congregation: for the report of the preceding Sabbath, with the intervening excitement, had aroused the inquiring population. Not wholly lost was the effect, for by Acts 13:49 we learn that in consequence the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. One of these noble apostles may have addressed the multitudes within the house; the other may at the same time, standing near the threshold, have harangued the multitudes in the front area.
