Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 21:23-24

Acts 21:23-24. Which have a vow— Of Nazariteship. See on ch. Acts 18:18. Josephus not only tells us in general, that it was customary with persons in any sickness or distress, to make vows, and to spend at least thirty days in extraordinary devotions; but also says, that when Agrippa came to Jerusalem, he offered sacrifices of thanksgiving, and ordered a good number of Nazarites to be shaved; a phrase exactly answering to this before us: whence Dr. Lardner very naturally argues, that to be at... read more

Acts 21:26. To signify the accomplishment, &c.— Dr. Heylin renders this, and declared how many days the purification was to last, and when the offering was to be made for each of them. This seems to be the true meaning of the passage: accordingly Dr. Benson's account of it is this: "The next day, taking the four men, St. Paul began to purify himself along with them; entering into the temple, and publicly declaring that he would observe the separation of a Nazarite, and continue itfor seven... read more

Acts 21:27. The Jews which were of Asia,— St. Paul had lately spent three years in preaching there, and, notwithstanding the success his labours wereattended with, had met with great opposition from these people; so that it is no wonder they should be the leaders in such an assault upon him. See ch. Acts 19:9 Acts 20:3. 1 Corinthians 16:9. read more

Acts 21:28. Teacheth—against—the law, and this place:— Every thing contrary to the law would be justly interpreted as contrary to the temple which was so evidently supported by a regard to it: but perhaps St. Paul might have declared that the destruction of the temple was approaching; which declaration we know was charged on Stephen as a great crime, ch. Acts 6:14. They urged further against St. Paul, that he brought Greeks, or Gentiles, into the temple. Now it is universally acknowledged, that... read more

Acts 21:30-33. And all the city was moved,— The accusation brought against St. Paul, though false, put all the city in a commotion, and brought a vast concourse of people together, who seized upon him in order to kill him; and therefore they drew him out of the court of the Israelites, lest it should have been defiled with his blood, and hurried him into the court of the Gentiles, which was not accounted so holy. The gates of the temple being shut, they immediately fell upon him, with what the... read more

Acts 21:37-38. Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?— St. Paul's addressing himself in Greek to the chief captain surprised him a good deal, as he took him for an Egyptian impostor; upon which he said to him with some astonishment, "What then! can you speak Greek? Are not you that Egyptian, who some time ago made a disturbance in this country, and, under the pretence of being a mighty prophet, led out into the wilderness four thousand of the sicarii?" (σικαριων ) a kind of assassins, so called from... read more

Acts 21:39. A Jew of Tarsus,— The inhabitants of Tarsus, (which city seems to have taken its name from Tarshish, the son of Javan, (Genesis 10:4.) boasted extremely of their antiquity; and Strabo tells us, that they were so considerable on account of learning, as well as commerce, wealth, and grandeur, that they might dispute the prize with Athens and Alexandria. Tarsus was the metropolis of Cilicia. read more

16. went with us . . . and brought with them—rather, "brought us to." One Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, c.—not an "aged" disciple, but probably "a disciple of old standing," perhaps one of the three thousand converted on the day of Pentecost, or, more likely still, drawn to the Saviour Himself during His lifetime. He had come, probably, with the other Cyprians (Acts 11:20), to Antioch, "preaching the Lord Jesus unto the Grecians," and now he appears settled at Jerusalem. Acts 11:20- :.... read more
