Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 13:49-52.


Acts 13:50

_ _ the devout and honourable women — female proselytes of distinction, jaundiced against the new preachers by those Jewish ecclesiastics to whom they had learned to look up. The potent influence of the female character both for and against the truth is seen in every age of the Church’s history.

_ _ expelled them — an easier thing than to refute them.
