Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 17:16-17.


Acts 17:17

_ _ Therefore disputed — or, discussed.

_ _ he in the synagogue with the Jews — The sense is not, “Therefore went he to the Jews,” because the Gentile Athenians were steeped in idolatry; but, “Therefore set he himself to lift up his voice to the idol city, but, as his manner was, he began with the Jews.”

_ _ and with the devout persons — Gentile proselytes. After that,

_ _ in the market — the Agora, or place of public concourse.

_ _ daily with them that met with him — or “came in his way.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 17:17

Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with (h) them that met with him.

(h) Whoever Paul met with that would allow him to talk with him, he reasoned with him, so thoroughly did he burn with the zeal of God's glory.
