Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:29-30

“I know that after my departing grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock, and from among your own selves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.” He warns that the attacks will come from without and within. Wolves will find their way in from outside, deceitful, lying, thieving shepherds will be found inside. Neither will spare the flock. Men, themselves being deceived, will deceive others. He had already witnessed this himself in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:31

“For which reason watch you, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.” He reminds them how while he was with them over the ‘three year’ period he had not ceased, often with tears, to admonish them night and day so as to lead them into and keep them in the truth (compare 2 Corinthians 2:4; Philippians 3:18). Let them therefore take the more earnest heed ( Rom 11:21 ; 1 Corinthians 10:12; Hebrews 2:1), and let them follow his... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:32

“And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” But Paul knows the place of safety and security. It is to be found in God Himself, and in the full teaching concerning His grace (compare Acts 20:24), and of how men are saved through that grace (God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense). ‘The word’ is the message preached (compare 1 Corinthians 1:18), but especially as found in the Scriptures... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:33

“I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me.” ‘I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.’ How could he even wish to when he was a recipient of Christ’s inheritance? But he wants them to recognise that it was nevertheless true, and that he did not just teach the doctrines of faith. He believed in them and lived by them. So he points out that he had been satisfied with his inheritance. In... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:35

“In all things I gave you an example, that so labouring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, which he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’.” And now he wants them to take what he has done as an example that they too might labour without charge, helping the weak and remembering what the Lord Jesus Himself had taught, ‘it is more blessed to give than to receive’. Thus they are to be givers, not receivers. For those who give are the ones... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:36

‘And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.’ Once he had finished speaking Paul then kneeled down and prayed with them all. His action was such as to emphasise how deeply he felt, for it was quite a regular practise to pray standing (Luke 18:11). But he wanted them to be aware that they were before the Lord of all, before Whom every knee should bow (Philippians 2:9-11) read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:37-38

‘And they all wept grievously, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they would behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.’ And they all responded in like kind. They wept grievously, they hugged him, they kissed him on the cheek and on the arms, and they were filled with sorrow at his warning that they would not see him again. Such a sense of finality on parting always adds to its poignancy. It would seem,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:13-16

Acts 20:13-Nehemiah : . Troas to Miletus.— In the Armenian Catena we read: “ But Luke and those with me came on the vessel” ; words which, if we were sure of their really being in the journal, would show that Luke was not its author. Preuschen thinks the original text was, “ But I, Luke, and those with me,” the present text being grammatically impossible, and the emendation in the Armenian easy. Acts 20:13 . Assos, about twelve miles from Troas by land, on a hilly road. A ship has to round... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:17-35

Acts 20:17-Habakkuk : . Paul’ s Speech to the Elders of Ephesus at Miletus.— See Ramsay, art. “ Miletus” in HDB, as to the difficulties of the journey at that period from Miletus to Ephesus; one had to sail to Priene and make from there a journey of 25 miles across the mountains to Ephesus. The elders or presbyters ( mg.) , afterwards called “ bishops” or “ overseers” ( Acts 20:28), make the toilsome journey, and Paul addresses them. We have had Paul addressing Jews (ch. 13 ) and Gentiles... read more
