Acts 9:26-43 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 9:23-31

Luke here makes no mention of Paul's journey into Arabia, which he tells us himself was immediately after his conversion, Gal. 1:16, 17. As soon as God had revealed his Son in him, that he might preach him, he went not up to Jerusalem, to receive instructions from the apostles (as any other convert would have done, that was designed for the ministry), but he went to Arabia, where there was new ground to break up, and where he would have opportunity of teaching, but not learning; thence he... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 9:32-35

Here we have, I. The visit Peter made to the churches that were newly planted by the dispersed preachers, Acts 9:32. 1. He passed through all quarters. As an apostle, he was not to be the resident pastor of any one church, but the itinerant visitor of many churches, to confirm the doctrine of inferior preachers, to confer the Holy Ghost on those that believed, and to ordain ministers. He passed dia panton?among them all, who pertained to the churches of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, mentioned... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 9:36-43

Here we have another miracle wrought by Peter, for the confirming of the gospel, and which exceeded the former?the raising of Tabitha to life when she had been for some time dead. Here is, I. The life, and death, and character of Tabitha, on whom this miracle was wrought, Acts 9:36, 37. 1. She lived at Joppa, a sea-port town in the tribe of Dan, where Jonah took shipping to go to Tarshish, now called Japho. 2. Her name was Tabitha, a Hebrew name, the Greek for which is Dorcas, both signifying... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 9:26-31

9:26-31 When he arrived in Jerusalem he tried to make contact with the disciples. They were all afraid of him because they did not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and told them the story of how, upon the road, he had seen the Lord and that he had spoken with him, and that in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. He went in and out with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. He talked and debated with the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 9:32-43

9:32-43 In the course of a tour of the whole area, Peter came down to the saints who lived at Lydda. There he found a man called Aeneas who had been bed-ridden for eight years. He was paralysed. So Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Rise and make your bed." At once he stood up and all who lived at Lydda and at Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. In Joppa there was a disciple called Tabitha--Dorcas is the translation of her name. She was full of good works and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 9:26

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem ,.... After he had escaped out of Damascus, in the manner before related, and which was three years after his conversion: he assayed to join himself to the disciples ; not to the private members of the church, or ordinary disciples, as distinct from the apostles, but to the whole society, as consisting of apostles and private Christians; for his chief view in going to Jerusalem was to see Peter; and the Ethiopic version reads, "to the apostles": the... read more

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles ,.... To Peter and James, the brother of our Lord, for no other apostles did he see at this time, Galatians 1:18 . It is probable that Barnabas had been at Damascus, and had there related to him, the whole account of Saul's conversion and entrance on the ministry, which he gives a particular relation of, as follows: and declared unto them, how he had seen the Lord in the way ; he told the apostles, Peter and James, how that Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 9:28

And be was with them ,.... Peter and James, and the rest of the disciples; he lived with them, conversed with them, and joined with them in all religious exercises; which is signified by his coming in and going out at Jerusalem ; no one of the apostles or disciples forbidding or hindering him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 9:29

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus ,.... He spoke the Gospel of Christ boldly, as it ought to be spoken; he spoke it openly, publicly, freely, and faithfully, not fearing the faces or revilings of any: the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions add, "to the Gentiles"; but this is not in any of the Greek copies: and disputed against the Grecians; or Hellenists, that is, the Hellenistical Jews; by whom are meant, not Greeks proselyted to the Jewish religion, but Jews who had been... read more

Which when the brethren knew ,.... When the members of the church heard of it, by some means or another: they brought him down to Caesarea ; not that which was before called Strato's tower, the same as in Acts 8:40 but Caesarea Philippi, mentioned in Matthew 16:13 the Syriac version adds, "by night", and some copies, "and sent him forth to Tarsus"; a city of Cilicia, his own native place, where he might be more safe, and also useful among his friends and acquaintance; Galatians 1:21... read more
