Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 19:11-20

Acts 19:11-Proverbs : . Miracles, Exorcisms, Burning of Books of Magic.— Peter’ s shadow cured the sick ( Acts 5:15); Paul’ s minor articles of clothing do the same, according to the widespread belief of antiquity in the indirect communication of personal influence. The belief in possession is best known to us from the Gospels in Palestine; but Greek magical literature shows that it flourished vigorously in other countries also. A humorous story follows, about some wandering Jews who used the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 19:12

Handkerchiefs or aprons; our habit and attire being so different from what was used so long since, it cannot but occasion some variety in rendering these words; which some think to signify two things; and some, but one and the same part of their clothes or dress: the words are both originally, Latin; the former so called from its use to wipe away sweat; the other, from its being usually tied about such as wore it. The diseases departed from them; God by such small and unlikely means wrought... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 19:1-41

Chapter 19And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth [watering what Paul had planted], Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus; and there he found certain disciples [that no doubt, had been planted by Apollos], he said unto them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 19:1-41

Acts 19:1 . Paul came to Ephesus, a city of Ionia, built by the Amezones. Its temple of Diana was one of the seven wonders of the world; but Pompey plundered it of all its riches. This city is now in ruins, with few inhabitants. Smyrna, forty five miles north-west, having a fine port, has taken away its ancient glory. In the time of St. Paul, it was reckoned the glory of all Asia. Acts 19:2 . Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? The rabbins were grossly dark and deficient... read more

Acts 19:1-23While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul … came to Ephesus.--Ephesus was the third capital and starting point of Christianity At Jerusalem Christianity was born in the cradle of Judaism; Antioch had been the starting point of the Church of the Gentiles; Ephesus was to witness its full development, and the final amalgamation of its unconsolidated elements in the work of John, the apostle of love. It lay one mile from the sea in the fair Asian meadow where myriads of swans and other... read more
