Acts 20:19 - Exposition

Lowliness for humility, A.V. ; tears for many tears, A.V. and T.R.; with trials for temptations, A.V.; plots for lying in wait, A.V. Plots ( ἐπιβουλαῖς ) ; comp. Acts 20:3 , and note. There is no special account of Jewish plots in St. Luke's narrative of St. Paul's sojourn at Ephesus. But from Acts 19:9 , Acts 19:13 , and probably 33, we may gather how hostile the unbelieving Jews were to him.
