Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 28:11-16

We have here the progress of Paul's voyage towards Rome, and his arrival there at length. A rough and dangerous voyage he had hitherto had, and narrowly escaped with his life; but after a storm comes a calm: the latter part of his voyage was easy and quiet. Per varios casus, per tot discrimina rerum, Tendimus ad Latium---- Through various hazards and events we move To Latium. Tendimus ad coelum. We make for heaven. ----Dabit Deus his quoque finem. To these a period will be fixed by Heaven.We... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 28:17-22

Paul, with a great deal of expense and hazard, is brought a prisoner to Rome, and when he has come nobody appears to prosecute him or lay any thing to his charge; but he must call his own cause; and here he represents it to the chief of the Jews at Rome. It was not long since, by an edict of Claudius, all the Jews were banished from Rome, and kept out till his death; but, in the five years since then, many Jews had come thither, for the advantage of trade, though it does not appear that they... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 28:23-29

We have here a short account of a long conference which Paul had with the Jews at Rome about the Christian religion. Though they were so far prejudiced against it, because it was every where spoken against, as to call it a sect, yet they were willing to give it a hearing, which was more than the Jews at Jerusalem would do. It is probable that these Jews at Rome, being men of larger acquaintance with the world and more general conversation, were more free in their enquiries than the bigoted... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 28:11-15

28:11-15 After three months we set sail on an Alexandrian ship which had wintered in the island, the figure-head of which was The Heavenly Twins. We landed at Syracuse and stayed there for three days. From there we sailed round and arrived at Rhegium; and, after one day, when the south wind had sprung up, we made Puteoli in two days. There we found brethren and were invited to stay amongst them for seven days; and so we came to Rome. When the brethren had received news about us, they came... read more

28:16-29 When we arrived in Rome, permission was given to Paul to stay in his own house with the soldier who was his guard. After three days he invited the leaders of the Jews to come to see him. When they had assembled, he proceeded to say, "Brethren, although I have done nothing against the People or against our ancestral customs, I was given over as a prisoner into the hands of the Romans from Jerusalem. When the Romans had investigated my case, they wished to release me because there were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 28:14

Where we found brethren ,.... Christians; which is not to be wondered at, since it was a port much frequented, and where many came and went, of different countries and nations; particularly there were many Jews here, to whom the Gospel was first preached, and to some of them it was the power of God unto salvation in many places, and doubtless was so here: Josephus F3 Antiqu. l. 17. c. 14. sect. 1. speaks of Jews in this place, who were deceived by a false Alexander, who pretended to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 28:15

And from thence ,.... That is, from Rome, whither they were going: when the brethren heard of us ; when the Christians at Rome heard that the apostle and his friends were landed at Puteoli, and were on their journey to Rome: these were the members of the church at Rome; for there was a church state here before this time. The apostle had before this written a letter to them, called the Epistle to the Romans, in which he treats them as a church. The Papists say that the Apostle Peter was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 28:16

And when we came to Rome ,.... To the city itself: the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard ; or general of the army; or, as some think, the governor of the "praetorian" band of soldiers, who attended the emperor as his guards: his name is thought to have been Burrhus Afranius; to him Julius the centurion delivered all the prisoners he brought from Caesarea, excepting Paul, to be disposed of by him, in the several prisons, or jails, to whom it belonged to take... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 28:17

And it came to pass, that after three days ,.... From his first coming to Rome, when he had hired himself a house, or lodging, and was settled in it, and was rested from the fatigue of his voyage and journey: Paul called the chief of the Jews together : he sent to the principal men among them; for though the Jews, were expelled from Rome in the reign of Claudius, they were now returned, and had their liberty of residing there; very likely by means of Poppea, Nero's concubine, who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 28:18

Who when they had examined me ,.... About the things laid to his charge, had heard what his accusers had to object to him, and the defence he made for himself: would have let me go ; released him from his bonds, and set him at liberty to go where he pleased: because there was no cause of death in me ; no crime proved upon him, which was worthy of death; and this was the sense of Lysias the chief captain, and of Felix and Festus the Roman governors, and of King Agrippa. read more
