The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 11:19-26

A new center of evangelistic work. Antioch. Another hold upon the Gentile world. More important than Caesarea. Next to Alexandria. Intellectual culture; commercial. A sphere prepared for Saul. I. THE MINISTRY EMPLOYED . Lay agency. Persecution compelling the Church to enlarge its borders. The circumstances opening the door to the Gentiles. Probably little success among Jews. The multitudes of Greeks at Antioch. The Greek mind prepared for inquiry. The state of the heathen world... read more

And the report concerning them for then tidings of these things, A.V.; to for unto, A.V.; as far as for that he should go as far as, A.V. and T.R. The news of this accession of Gentiles to the Church was quickly carried to Jerusalem, with the same motive, probably, that brought thither the account of the baptism of Cornelius and his household, as we read in Acts 11:1-3 of this chapter. The conduct of the Church in sending so excellent and temperate a person. as Barnabas (as we... read more

Was come for came, A.V.; he exhorted for exhorted., A.V. Had seen the grace of God ; i.e. had seen the number and the truth of the conversions of Gentiles effected by God's grace. He exhorted them all ( παρεκάλει πάντας ); thus showing himself a true υἱὸς παρακλήσεως , son of exhortation (see Acts 4:36 , note). Cleave unto the Lord ; προσμένειν , to abide, continue, persevere in (comp. Acts 13:43 ; 1 Timothy 5:5 ). In 2 Timothy 3:14 it is simply ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 11:23-24

The surprises of the grace of God. Some six or seven years had passed since the martyrdom of Stephen, and "the persecution that arose about Stephen." The winds of persecution had now borne far and wide the seeds of Christian truth and faith. In the "ground" of Jewish hearts alone, however, for the greater part of this time had the seed "fallen," so far as men's intentions and purposes had scattered it. In individual cases, however, it had inevitably fallen elsewhere; and besides, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 11:24

A good man . The predominant idea in ἀγαθός is simply "goodness," moral excellence. So in Matthew 19:16 , "Good Master." To which our Lord answers, "There is none good but One." In Luke 23:50 Joseph of Arimathaea is ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ δίκαιος , "a good man and a righteous." In Matthew 5:45 πονηροὶ καὶ ἀγαθοί , "the evil and the good," are contrasted. In classical Greek the common phrase, καλὸς κἀγαθός , describes an honorable and good man. It is pleasing to read... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 11:24

Good Barnabas. We have had this man introduced to us before, but his character is most fully described in this passage. It may reasonably be asked why St. Luke, in writing the Book of the Acts, should take this opportunity of recording the received opinion about Barnabas. The most simple answer is that he had subsequently to record the dispute between St. Paul and St. Barnabas over Mark, and he was therefore anxious to ensure that his readers did not get a wrong impression, from that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 11:25

And he went forth for then departed Barnabas, A.V. and T.R.; to seek for, for for to seek, A.V. Observe the remarkable providence which had made use of the violence of the Hellenist Jews at Jerusalem to drive Saul to Tarsus, where he would be close at hand to take up the work so unexpectedly prepared for him at Antioch. "It was in the spring of the year A.D. 43, or just ten years after the Crucifixion, that Barnabas proceeded to Tarsus, found Saul, and brought him to Antioch" (Lewin,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 11:25-26

An early co-pastorate. The chronology of the period reaching from the martyrdom of Stephen to the mission of Barnabas to Antioch is obscure, and has at present indeed refused to yield up to us dates—as, for instance, leading dates affecting Saul—of the utmost interest. It is, however, exceedingly probable that six full years had now passed since the conversion of Saul. During the whole of this time he has been—we may say it without a doubt, though perhaps it were not easy to find actual... read more

Even for a whole year for a whole year, A.V. and T.R.; they were gathered together for they assembled themselves, A.V.; and that the disciples for and the disciples, A.V. The phrase ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ occurs again in 1 Corinthians 11:18 (T.R.), where it has, as here, very nearly the sense of "in the church," as a place of meeting. It should be "in," not "with." The "Church" is the assembly of disciples gathered together in their house of meeting. Were called ; χρηματίσαι ... read more

The Christian name. "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Three great cities identified with Christian history in a special manner— Jerusalem, Antioch, and Rome. The birth of the religion; its triumph in full manhood over the world; and between these two points its baptism as the religion of the East and West alike. Describe position and influence of the city. The name not given by Jews, as recognizing that Jesus was Messiah. Not by disciples, as other names in... read more
