Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 18:12-17.


Acts 18:17

_ _ all the Greeks — the Gentile spectators.

_ _ took Sosthenes — perhaps the successor of Crispus, and certainly the head of the accusing party. It is very improbable that this was the same Sosthenes as the apostle afterwards calls “his brother” (1 Corinthians 1:1).

_ _ and beat him before the judgment-seat — under the very eye of the judge.

_ _ And Gallio cared for none of those things — nothing loath, perhaps, to see these turbulent Jews, for whom probably he felt contempt, themselves getting what they hoped to inflict on another, and indifferent to whatever was beyond the range of his office and case. His brother eulogizes his loving and lovable manners. Religious indifference, under the influence of an easy and amiable temper, reappears from age to age.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 18:12-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 18:17

Then they all took Sosthenes — The successor of Crispus, and probably Paul's chief accuser, and beat him — It seems because he had occasioned them so much trouble to no purpose, before the judgment seat — One can hardly think in the sight of Gallio, though at no great distance from him. And it seems to have had a happy effect. For Sosthenes himself was afterward a Christian, 1 Corinthians 1:1.
