Acts 14:1-14 ASV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 14:8-18

8-18 All things are possible to those that believe. When we have faith, that most precious gift of God, we shall be delivered from the spiritual helplessness in which we were born, and from the dominion of sinful habits since formed; we shall be made able to stand upright and walk cheerfully in the ways of the Lord. When Christ, the Son of God, appeared in the likeness of men, and did many miracles, men were so far from doing sacrifice to him, that they made him a sacrifice to their pride and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 14:1-99

Acts 14 IN ICONIUM, THE next place visited, the work was similar to that at Antioch. The synagogue was visited and the Word so preached that a multitude of both Jews and Gentiles believed. Again the Jews became the opposers and persecutors, and in view of riotous doings the Apostles fled to other cities. At Lystra a remarkable miracle was wrought through Paul. A man lame from birth was healed; a miracle almost the exact counterpart of the one wrought by Peter, which we read of in chapter 3.... read more

Paul and Barnabas at Iconium and Lystra. Success and persecution at Iconium: v. 1. And it came to pass in Iconium that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. v. 2. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. v. 3. Long time therefore abode they, speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the Word of His grace,... read more

A miracle and its effect upon the people: v. 8. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked. v. 9. The same heard Paul speak; who, steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, v. 10. said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. v. 11. And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods... read more

The horrified speech of Paul: v. 14. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, v. 15. and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein; v. 16. who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. v. 17. ... read more

§ II. The healing of a cripple in Lystra induces the people to offer idolatrous worship, which Paul and Barnabas with difficulty repress; nevertheless, Paul is afterwards, at the instigation of Jews who came from Antioch and Iconium, nearly slainActs 14:8-208And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent [powerless] in his feet, being3 [om. being] a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked4: 9The same [This man] heard5 Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding [looking at] him, and... read more

Acts JEWISH REJECTERS AND GENTILE RECEIVERS Act_13:44 - Act_13:52 - Act_14:1 - Act_14:7 . In general outline, the course of events in the two great cities of Asia Minor, with which the present passage is concerned, was the same. It was only too faithful a forecast of what was to be Paul’s experience everywhere. The stages are: preaching in the synagogue, rejection there, appeal to the Gentiles, reception by them, a little nucleus of believers formed; disturbances fomented by the Jews, who... read more

Acts DEIFIED AND STONED DREAM AND REALITY Act_14:11 . This was the spontaneous instinctive utterance of simple villagers when they saw a deed of power and kindness. Many an English traveller and settler among rude people has been similarly honoured. And in Lycaonia the Apostles were close upon places that were celebrated in Greek mythology as having witnessed the very two gods, here spoken of, wandering among the shepherds and entertained with modest hospitality in their huts. The incident... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 14:12-22

Acts DEIFIED AND STONED Act_14:11 - Act_14:22 . The scene at Lystra offers a striking instance of the impossibility of eliminating the miraculous element from this book. The cure of a lame man is the starting-point of the whole story. Without it the rest is motiveless and inexplicable. There can be no explosion without a train and a fuse. The miracle, and the miracle only, supplies these. We may choose between believing and disbelieving it, but the rejection of the supernatural does not... read more
