Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Acts 26:14
The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus June 27, 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." Acts 26:14 . How marvelous the condescension which induced the Saviour to take notice of such a wretch as Saul! Enthroned in the highest heavens, amidst the eternal melodies of the redeemed, and the seraphic sonnets of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 26:1-32
Let's open our Bibles to the twenty-sixth chapter of Acts.Paul was rescued by Lysias, the captain of the Roman guard from the mob that was attempting to beat him to death in Jerusalem on the temple mount. He was taken into protective custody by the Roman government and sent under special guard to Caesarea for his protection, where he appeared before the governor Felix who held Paul a prisoner for two years, more or less, as a political pawn. When Festus became the governor in Felix's place, who... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 26:1-32
Acts 26:1 . Then Paul stretched forth the hand, the usual signal to gain attention; it indicates presence of mind in the speaker, and that his auditory is large. Though the notice was short, the court would be crowded. Acts 26:2 . I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee. Festus, it would seem, had given Agrippa the first place on the bench, because of his age and superior knowledge of the law. This exordium is full of grace and... read more

Acts 26:1-32Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself.Paul before AgrippaHere is all that Christianity ever asked for: an opportunity to speak for itself; and its answer is the one which must always be returned: “I beseech thee to hear me patiently.” Christianity always appears in person, its witnesses are always at hand, the court is never disappointed, the judge has never to wait. But Christianity must be heard patiently. Only the candid hearer can listen well. If... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Acts 26:8
Acts 26:8Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?Why is the resurrection incredibleI. Incredulity has many causes and justifies itself with many reasons. It has never seen a resurrection, and it thinks it believes only what it sees. There have been plenty of funerals, but nothing more, so far as its experience goes. Some appear to have merely the rudiments of a soul, and are scarcely conscious of superiority to the brute creation. One such said to a... read more

Acts 26:9-11I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. St. Paul’s thought with himself1. Emerson verily thought with himself that every subject was to be brought before him for his individual approval or disapproval. In nearly the last sermon he ever preached, he said, that how plainly soever such an ordinance as the Eucharist might seem, to others, to have been appointed by Christ Himself, unless it commended itself to his own... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Acts 26:22-23
DISCOURSE: 1812PAUL’S TESTIMONYActs 26:22-23. Having obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.EVEN to this moment, the Gospel, when faithfully preached, is called “A new doctrine [Note: Acts 17:19.].” But it is the very... read more
