And spake boldly - He openly defended the doctrine that Jesus was the Messiah.In the name ... - By the authority of the Lord Jesus.Against the Grecians - See the word “Grecians” explained in the notes on Acts 6:1. It means that he not only maintained that Jesus was the Christ in the presence of those Jews who resided at Jerusalem, and who spoke the Hebrew language, but also before those foreign Jews who spoke the Greek language, and who had come up to Jerusalem. They would be as much opposed to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 9:26-30

Acts 9:26-30. And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, &c. It must be observed here, that the history of Paul’s preaching at Damascus, going into Arabia, and visiting Jerusalem, is somewhat intricate, and interpreters differ much about it. But the series of it seems most probably to be as Dr. Whitby has stated it; namely, 1st, That, “after his conversion, he constantly preached in the synagogues of Damascus, that Jesus was the Son of God. 2d, That, going thence into Arabia, between two and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 9:20-31

In Damascus, Arabia, Jerusalem and Tarsus (9:19b-31)People throughout Damascus soon knew of Saul’s conversion. He openly joined with the Christians and argued convincingly against the Jews (19b-22). Part of the next three years he spent in Arabia, after which he returned to Damascus (Galatians 1:17-18). His activities there stirred up such violent opposition that he fled to save his life (23-25; 2 Corinthians 11:32-33).When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, the Christians did not welcome him. They... read more

Acts 9:29. Against the Grecians:— The Hellenists; or those foreign Jews who used the Greek language, and came out of other parts to worship at Jerusalem, St. Paul being earnestly desirous that they might carry along with them the knowledge of Christ into their own lands.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 9:1-31

C. The mission of Saul 9:1-31The writer focused our attention next on a key figure in the spread of the Christian mission and on significant events in the development of that mission to the Gentiles. Peter’s evangelization of Cornelius (ch. 10) will continue to advance this theme. Luke has given us three portraits of significant individuals in the evangelization of Gentiles: Stephen, Philip, and now, climactically, Saul. He stressed that Saul’s conversion and calling to be an apostle to the... read more

II. THE WITNESS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA 6:8-9:31In this next major section of Acts, Luke narrated three significant events in the life and ministry of the early church. These events were the martyrdom of Stephen, the ministry of Philip, and the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Luke’s presentation of these events was primarily biographical. In fact, he began his account of each event with the name of its major character (Acts 6:8; Acts 8:5; Acts 9:1). The time when these events took place was probably... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 9:26-30

Saul’s reception in Jerusalem 9:26-30Luke concluded each of his narratives of the Samaritans’ conversion (Acts 8:4-25), Saul’s conversion (Acts 9:1-31), and Cornelius’ conversion (Acts 10:1 to Acts 11:18) with references to the mother church in Jerusalem. He evidently wanted to stress the fact that all these significant advances were part of one great plan that God orchestrated and not just independent occurrences (cf. Matthew 16:18; Acts 1:8). read more
