Hechos 20:1-27 RVR1960

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 20:13-27

a Parting Message Acts 20:13-27 The vessel had to stop at Miletus and Paul sent word to the Ephesian elders, urging them to come and see him. He spent the day in their company, and before parting delivered this pathetic and helpful address. There are many incidental touches revealing the nature of his work in the great city, of which there is little or no mention elsewhere in the Acts. For instance, we were not aware of his tears and trials through the opposition of the Jews, Acts 20:19 ,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 20:1-38

Restful and mastered by Christ, Paul was yet restless and resistless in devotion to the enterprise of his Lord. These facts are evident throughout this chapter. We follow him in rapid movements, always calm and confident. After tarrying in Greece for three months, he found that a plot was laid against his life and quickly passed overland. Detained in Troas, he ministered to the saints and strengthened their hearts. It was while here that Eutychus, overcome with sleep, fell to death, from... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:7

PUBLIC WORSHIP‘And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them.’Acts 20:7In the present day there is a marked decline in the habit of people, generally, to attend public worship regularly, yet the present tendency is not peculiar to this age; it appeared in an aggravated form in the eighteenth century, which was commented on by Bishop Butler in the introduction to his Analogy of Religion. I. There is a tendency in the present day... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:9

EUTYCHUS‘There sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep.’ Acts 20:9 The point of the story for us is not that Eutychus slept, but that Eutychus was there. He had come to Christian worship early in the morning: he had done a hard day’s work: but he had come again at night to join in Christian worship. He had fallen asleep, because the room was too hot and crowded, because he was tired out, because, if you will, he did not care much for, or could not... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:21

REPENTANCE AND FAITH‘Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.’ Acts 20:21 Repentance must have in it three things. It must have in it hope; it must have in it love; it must have in it God. I. It must have in it hope.—The sorrow which comes without hope, mere fear, is remorse. Remorse made Judas a suicide. Repentance made Peter’s tears, and Peter’s life of holiness and service. II. It must have love, and ‘God is love.’ God is all love. III. It must have God.—It is a real,... read more

THE CHRISTIAN COURSE‘And now, behold, I go bound in the Spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy.’ Acts 20:22-Jeremiah : St. Paul is here under the influence of a resistless power. As we look into the narrative we see gathering round this conviction... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Acts 20:24

THE MINISTRY‘The ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus.’ Acts 20:24 These words from St. Paul’s charge to the Ephesian clergy who met him at Miletus tell of a ministry, and of Him Who commissioned men to exercise it in His Church. I. The work of the ministry.—‘The ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus.’ The words imply a work to be done by a servant, a service to be rendered. There is signified the dedication and devotion of a life to the noblest and loftiest of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1

Paul Purposes To Go To Jerusalem and Then To Rome. Satan Counterattacks at Ephesus (19:21-20:1). Paul’s purpose to go to Jerusalem in spite of warnings raises an interesting question. If the Spirit was giving him warnings, why did he proceed? In answering this question we need to recognise that part of Luke’s purpose here may well be in order to give encouragement to those facing persecution by stressing Paul’s steadfastness of purpose in the face of known adversity. The section commences in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-6

Paul’s Visits To Macedonia and Greece And Seven Days in Troas (20:1-6). It is indicative of Luke’s concentration on the new direction in which events have turned, and his purpose in writing what follows, that he ignores many things of which we would wish to have been apprised. We are reminded again that Acts is not ‘a life of Paul’. His main concern is now to demonstrate that God will so work events that having been faced with false royal rule at Ephesus the Kingly Rule of God will triumph in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-38

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more
