Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 21:8

Acts DRAWING NEARER TO THE STORM PHILIP THE EVANGELIST Act_21:8 . The life of this Philip, as recorded, is a very remarkable one. It is divided into two unequal halves: one full of conspicuous service, one passed in absolute obscurity. Like the moon in its second quarter, part of the disc is shining silver and the rest is invisible. Let us put together the notices of him. He bears a name which makes it probable that he was not a Palestinian Jew, but one of the many who, of Jewish descent,... read more

Acts DRAWING NEARER TO THE STORM Act_21:1 - Act_21:15 . Paul’s heroic persistency in disregarding the warnings of ‘bonds and afflictions’ which were pealed into his ears in every city, is the main point of interest in this section. But the vivid narrative abounds with details which fill it with life and colour. We may gather it all round three points-the voyage, Tyre, and Caesarea. I. The log of the voyage, as given in Act_21:1 - Act_21:3 , shows the leisurely way of navigation in those... read more

Acts AN OLD DISCIPLE Act_21:16 . There is something that stimulates the imagination in these mere shadows of men that we meet in the New Testament story. What a strange fate that is to be made immortal by a line in this book- immortal and yet so unknown! We do not hear another word about this host of Paul’s, but his name will be familiar to men’s ears till the world’s end. This figure is drawn in the slightest possible outline, with a couple of hasty strokes of the pencil. But if we take... read more

Ready to Die for His Lord Acts 21:1-14 The vessel coasted along Asia Minor, sighted Cyprus, sailed to the south of it, and so finally to Tyre. There the disciples were poor and obscure, and it took searching to find them; but they were very warm-hearted, and the whole community, including the children, who never forgot that incident, accompanied Paul to his ship. As they neared the vessel they knelt on the shore to pray together, and so parted. The journey from Ptolemais (Acre) to Caesarea... read more

Binding Together the Church Acts 21:15-26 Mnason was an early disciple. He could remember the first days of the Church’s story. It was good for Paul to have the society and care of this good man during those last troublous days. Notwithstanding all the efforts of the Judaizing elements in the Church, the splendid labors of the Apostle were estimated at their true worth, and he was gladly welcomed by the brethren at Jerusalem. Note how careful he was to attribute all to God. Paul was only... read more

Passing on toward Jerusalem, Paul and those with him reached Tyre. There the disciples urged the apostle not to go to Jerusalem; but, having received from the Spirit a revelation of all that lay before him, he pressed on. Presently Caesarea was reached, and here we get another glimpse of Philip the evangelist. Living at Caesarea he had four daughters who were devoted to the work of the Lord. While tarrying there Agabus arrived and uttered words of prediction. This prediction harmonized with... read more

WE AT HOME AND THEY ABROAD‘When we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.’Acts 21:6Within the compass of a few verses, taking the end of the last chapter and the beginning of this, we have the account of three somewhat touching scenes, in which the most prominent figure is that of the Apostle Paul.The first of them occurred at Miletus. St. Paul, who was sojourning there, had sent to the elders of the Ephesian Church, begging them to come to him for a... read more

THE DAWN OF THE MISSIONARY CALL‘I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.’ Acts 21:13 St. Paul’s conflict of feeling is suggestive of a very noble and comprehensive character. Some have strength and no tenderness; others tenderness and no strength. St. Paul had both: he felt the kindness shown, but he felt still more the constraining power of the missionary call. Notice— I. Its absorbing power.—The prospect of the work that lay before him... read more

DIVINE GUIDANCE‘And When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.’ Acts 21:14 We are all conscious of the need of guidance. Some of us perhaps could say that we are conscious of the fact of guidance; most of us certainly are often greatly perplexed as to the instrument of guidance. It seems to me that St. Paul’s example may help us to discover a principle which covers our case. I. Two conditions of Divine direction at least are common to the Apostle and to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:1-16

The Journey to Jerusalem (20:3-21:16). As we read this section of Acts some of it may seem a little pointless and repetitive. But we must recognise in it what Luke is doing. One purpose that he has in mind is to depict Paul’s journey as a slow, inexorable progress with the final goal in mind. He wants to hang out the suspense as he slowly approaches Jerusalem and the bonds that await him. But a second purpose that he has in mind is to bring out how successful has been the spread of the word.... read more
