Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 28:31

The kingdom of God; the gospel is so called; as also Paul preached that kingdom of God which is to come at the end of the world, which falls in with the subject he was so often upon, concerning the resurrection; which if men did but believe effectually, all the other ends of preaching would be easily obtained. Those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ; Christ’s precepts and miracles, his death and resurrection. No man forbidding him: God, who puts bounds to the raging sea, had stopped... read more

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 28:23. Into his lodging.—Probably the “hired dwelling,” μίσθωμα, of Acts 28:30, though some (Heschyius, Hackett) consider the term ξενία points to a private house—perhaps that of Aquila, or of some other Roman Christian—in which he was entertained as a guest. For expounded and testified read expounding, testifying, and persuading.Acts 28:25. The one word spoken by Paul did not occasion (Meyer), but accompanied (De Wette) the departure of the Jewish leaders.Acts 28:26. The... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 28:1-31

Tonight we'd like to just go through the twenty-eighth chapter of Acts and finish this book so that next Sunday night we move into the first two chapters of Romans. That's your reading assignment for next week, the first two chapters of Romans. But tonight, this fascinating, interesting final chapter to the story of the beginning of the church and the ministry of Paul the apostle.You remember last week, we were left in a very exciting and dramatic place. Paul was on the ship that was being torn... read more

Acts 28:1 . Melita, now Malta. This island seems to have been inhabited by runaways, for melim, in the language of Carthage, is to escape. It was inhabited by a colony of refugees from Carthage, a people of Phœnicia. So Dr. Lightfoot. Others say it was so called from its abounding with honey. It is about twenty miles in length, and eleven in breadth. Julius Cæsar is said, with great difficulty, to have taken it from the Carthaginians. It was given to the knights of St. John, who were... read more

Acts 28:16-31And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard.Rome as seen by PaulWithin a circuit of little more than twelve miles more than two millions of inhabitants were crowded. In this prodigious collection of human beings, there were of course all the contrasts which are seen in a modern city--all the painful lines of separation between luxury and squalor, wealth and want. But in Rome all these differences were on an exaggerated scale, and the... read more

Acts 28:30-31And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house.Paul’s two years’ ministry in his own hired houseHere his biographer takes leave of Paul. The curtain falls on the great actor. The greatest life has a close. These verses suggest--I. The essence of Christianity.1. “Those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ”--not the things which concern religious speculations or organisations.2. The reign of God over the human soul, “the kingdom of God.” The grand aim of Christ’s mission... read more

Preaching the kingdom, &c. ] Mr Bradford, during the time of his imprisonment, preached twice a day continually, unless sickness hindered him; where also the sacrament was often ministered.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Acts 28:31

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.No man forbidding him — Such was the victory of the word of God. While Paul was preaching at Rome, the Gospel shone with its highest lustre. Here therefore the Acts of the Apostles end; and end with great advantage. Otherwise St. Luke could easily have continued his narrative to the apostle's death. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 28:1-31

PART THIRD. CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE GENTILES. From Chapter Acts 13:1, to End of Acts. Through the remainder of his work Luke’s subject is the evangelization of the Gentiles, and his hero is Paul. His field is western Asia and Europe; his terminal point is Rome, and the work is the laying the foundation of modern Christendom. At every point, even at Rome, Luke is careful to note the Gospel offer to the Jews, and how the main share reject, and a remnant only is saved. And thus it appears that... read more
