Acts 13:42-52 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles sought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.… 1. Not the language of cowardly fear of men, but of resolute obedience to the intimations of the Lord. 2. Not an expression of proud contempt, but of commiserating pity towards the despisers of salvation. 3. Not a signal to a lazy retreat, but to a new field of labour. (K. Gerok.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. |
