The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:41

If one for though a man, A.V. "Though" best expresses the ἐὰν and the יךּ of the Hebrew. The passage is quoted nearly verbatim from the LXX . of Hebrews 1:5 . The difference from the Hebrew arises from the LXX . having read in their copy מיִדְגבֹּ , proud, arrogant men ( καταφρονητάι ) , for מיוֹגּבַ , among the heathen, as is clear from their rendering the Hebrew דגֵוֹב , in Habakkuk 1:13 and Habakkuk 2:5 , by the same word ( καταφρονοῦντας and ... read more

And as they went out for when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, A.V. and T.R.; they for the Gentiles, A.V. and T.R.; spoken for preached, A.V. They besought. The R.T. is that of Chrysostom and the best manuscripts, and is adopted by Meyer, Olshausen, Lange, Afford, Bishop Wordsworth, the 'Speaker's Commentary,' etc. There is a difference of opinion as to who is meant by they. The simplest explanation is that they means Paul and Barnabas, who went out of the synagogue... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:42-52

The savor of death and of life. We have here a memorable example of the same gospel being a savor of life to some and of death to others, according to the reception given to it in the heart of the hearers. Here was a mixed congregation of Jews and proselytes and Gentiles. They had all the same advantages; they all heard the same gospel at the mouth of the same preacher. Some, when they heard, believed; a hunger sprang up in their souls to hear and to know more of the salvation of God. They... read more

Ministerial success. I. THAT IT IS A REAL MINISTERIAL GAIN TO EXCITE RELIGIOUS INQUIRY . ( Acts 13:42-44 .) It was a considerable success to have called forth the interest of the Gentile audience, so that they begged to hear the same truths stated again ( Acts 13:42 ). It was the beginning of "the grace of God" in their hearts ( Acts 13:43 ); it resulted in the excitement of still more extensive inquiry, so that "the whole city" was agitated and solicitous ( ... read more

Jewish jealousy. The result of the preaching of Paul at Antioch was the conversion of many Jews and Gentile proselytes to the Christian faith. To these the exhortation, appropriate to all new converts, was given: " Abide in the grace of God." I. THE GATHERING OF THE MULTITUDE . There is always some reason for the gathering of the crowd. Its fancy is easily excited. It is attracted by the wonderful and the novel. Here it was no mere sensationalism; it was the desire to hear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 13:42-52

The clash of two worlds in Christ. It may certainly be said that the Jews had long been a world by themselves. In one fashion this had been the ordaining of Heaven itself, though they had wrested the true idea of things to a false. And in matter of fact, the whole of the rest of the earth had been another world. It was but too true now that places were to change, and, while the lofty fell, the lowly were exalted. The climax was scarcely reached as yet chronologically, but the passage of... read more

The synagogue broke up for the congregation was broken up, A.V.; the devout for religious, A.V.; urged for persuaded, A.V. This verse manifestly describes something subsequent to the event recorded in the preceding. The congregation had asked Paul and Barnabas, perhaps through the ruler of the synagogue, to return next sabbath. But when the congregation broke up, many Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas to their own house and received further instructions and... read more

Jewish opposition overruled to the world's good. I. THE TEST OF SINCERITY applied to the professedly zealous. The city stirred by those who "followed not with them." The true zeal is that which is actuated by the true charity, which "rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in truth." II. The best success is that which is obtained by simply FOLLOWING DIVINE DIRECTION . " It was necessary" to encounter the prejudice of the Jews, but the work of the world's evangelization... read more
