Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 13:45

They were filled with envy - Greek: “zeal.” The word here denotes “wrath in dignation,” that such multitudes should be disposed to hear a message which they rejected, and which threatened to overthrow their religion.Spake against - Opposed the doctrine that Jesus was the Messiah; that the Messiah would be humble, lowly, despised, and put to death.Contradicting - Contradicting the apostles. This was evidently done in their presence, Acts 13:46, and would cause great tumult and disorder.And... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 13:46

Waxed bold - Became bold; spake boldly and openly. They were not terrified by their strife, or alarmed by their opposition. The contradictions and blasphemies of sinners often show that their consciences are alarmed; that the truth has taken effect; and then is not the time to shrink, but to declare more fearlessly the truth.It was necessary - It was so designed; so commanded. They regarded it as their duty to offer the gospel first to their own countrymen. See the notes on Luke 24:47.Ye put it... read more

Acts 13:38-39 . Be it known unto you, therefore Be persuaded of this as a most certain and momentous truth, a truth infinitely consolatory; that through this man This seed of David, and Son of God; is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins The free, full, and assured pardon of all your offences, be they ever so great, and ever so aggravated. And by him By his mediation, by his sacrifice and intercession; all that believe Greek, πας ο πιστευων , every one that believeth; namely,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 13:40-41

Acts 13:40-41. Beware, therefore A weighty and reasonable admonition with which the apostle enforces the very important doctrine which he had just delivered. No reproof is, as yet, added to it: lest that come upon you which is spoken of in the prophets The apostle refers to Habakkuk 1:5, where the destruction of the Jewish nation by the Chaldeans is foretold, as an incredible and unparalleled destruction; and that prophecy is here, with the greatest propriety and correctness, applied to... read more

Acts 13:42-43. When the Jews were gone out Or rather, while they were going out, as the original expression means; of the synagogue For probably many of them, not bearing to hear him, went out before he had done speaking; the Gentiles Many of whom, it seems, were assembled on this occasion; besought that these words Or the same doctrines; might be preached to them the next sabbath Greek, εις το μεταξυ σαββατον , in the intermediate sabbath That is, says Bengelius, “the sabbath... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 13:44-45

Acts 13:44-45. And the next sabbath came almost the whole city together Idolaters as well as proselytes; to hear the word of God In consequence, it seems, of the report which the Gentiles had spread abroad of what had been delivered before, whereby an earnest desire had been awakened in many, of attending that repetition of their extraordinary message which the apostles had engaged themselves to make. But when the Jews Of the more bigoted sort; saw the multitude And considered what an... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 13:46-47

Acts 13:46-47. Then Paul and Barnabas Perceiving that no good impression could be made upon them; waxed bold Used great freedom of speech; and said, It was necessary According to the general instructions of our Divine Master; that the word of God should first be spoken to you He shows that he had not preached to them from any confidence of their believing; but seeing ye put it from you, and By that very action, in effect; judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life Persons unfit... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 13:13-52

To Antioch in Pisidia (13:13-52)When the trio arrived at Perga on the mainland of Asia Minor, John Mark, for some unknown reason, left the other two and returned to Jerusalem. Paul considered this a serious failure on Mark’s part (13; see 15:38).From Perga, Paul and Barnabas moved north into the province of Galatia and came to the town of Antioch, often referred to as Pisidian Antioch to distinguish it from Antioch in Syria. There they preached in the synagogue just as they had done in the... read more
