Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 16:22

_ _ the multitude rose up together against them — so Acts 19:28, Acts 19:34; Acts 21:30; Luke 23:18.

_ _ the magistrates rent off their — Paul’s and Silas’

_ _ clothes — that is, ordered the lictors, or rod-bearers, to tear them off, so as to expose their naked bodies (see on Acts 16:37). The word expresses the roughness with which this was done to prisoners preparatory to whipping.

_ _ and commanded to beat them — without any trial (Acts 16:37), to appease the popular rage. Thrice, it seems, Paul endured this indignity (2 Corinthians 11:25).

Matthew Henry's Commentary
