Acts 28:1-31

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 28:25-29

A word from Isaiah applied: v. 25. And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, v. 26. saying, Go unto this people and say, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive; v. 27. for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 28:30-31

Two years at Rome: v. 30. And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, v. 31. preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no man forbidding him. Paul may, at this time, have been able to purchase many conveniences for himself, or the liberality of the various congregations made it possible; at any rate, he was able to rent and live in his own lodgings for two whole years,... read more

Acts AFTER THE WRECK Act_28:1 - Act_28:16 . ‘They all escaped safe to land,’ says Luke with emphasis, pointing to the verification of Paul’s assurance that there should be no loss of life. That two hundred and seventy-six men on a wreck should all be saved was very improbable, but the angel had promised, and Paul had believed that it should be ‘even so as it had been spoken unto him.’ Therefore the improbable came to pass, and every man of the ship’s company stood safe on the shore. Faith... read more

Acts THE LAST GLIMPSE OF PAUL Act_28:17 - Act_28:31 . We have here our last certain glimpse of Paul. His ambition had long been to preach in Rome, but he little knew how his desire was to be fulfilled. We too are often surprised at the shape which God’s answers to our wishes take. Well for us if we take the unexpected or painful events which accomplish some long-cherished purpose as cheerfully and boldly as did Paul. We see him in this last glimpse as the centre of three concentric widening... read more

Acts THE THEME OF ACTS THE LAST GLIMPSE OF PAUL PAUL IN ROME Act_28:30 - Act_28:31 . So ends this book. It stops rather than ends. Many reasons might be suggested for closing here. Probably the simplest is the best, that nothing more is said for nothing more had yet been done. Probably the book was written during these two years. This abrupt close suggests several noteworthy thoughts. I. The true theme of the book. How convenient if Luke had told us a little more! But Paul’s history is... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 28:1-10

Kindness Richly Repaid Acts 28:1-10 It is pleasant to read of the kindness of these Maltese. In humanity everywhere there are kindly traits, and often there will be ready help for the really destitute. Accidents are not punishments. The clinging of the viper to Paul’s hand was not an evidence of the anger of God, but was permitted in order to give these simple-hearted people an evidence which they would appreciate of God’s care for His own. How changeable is human opinion, shifting in a... read more
