Acts 18:27-28
_ _ And when he was disposed — “minded,” “resolved.”
_ _ to pass into Achaia — of which Corinth, on the opposite coast (see on Acts 18:1), was the capital; there to proclaim that Gospel which he now more fully comprehended.
_ _ the brethren — We had not before heard of such gathered at Ephesus. But the desire of the Jews to whom Paul preached to retain him among them for some time (Acts 18:20), and his promise to return to them (Acts 18:21), seem to indicate some drawing towards the Gospel, which, no doubt, the zealous private labors of Priscilla and Aquila would ripen into discipleship.
_ _ wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him — a beautiful specimen of “letters of recommendation” (as Acts 15:23, Acts 15:25-27, and see 2 Corinthians 3:1); by which, as well as by interchange of deputations, etc., the early churches maintained active Christian fellowship with each other.
_ _ when he was come, helped them much — was a great acquisition to the Achaian brethren.
_ _ which believed through grace — one of those incidental expressions which show that faith’s being a production of God’s grace in the heart was so current and recognized a truth that it was taken for granted, as a necessary consequence of the general system of grace, rather than expressly insisted on. (It is against the natural order of the words to read them, as Bengel, Meyer, and others, do, “helped through grace those who believed”). |
Acts 18:27
Who greatly helped through grace — It is through grace only that any gift of any one is profitable to another. Them that had believed — Apollos did not plant, but water. This was the peculiar gift which he had received. And he was better able to convince the Jews, than to convert the heathens. |
Acts 18:27
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through (p) grace:
(p) Through God's gracious favour, or by those excellent gifts which God had bestowed upon him. |
