Acts 19:33
_ _ they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward — rather, “some of the multitude urged forward Alexander, the Jews thrusting him forward.” As the blame of such a tumult would naturally be thrown upon the Jews, who were regarded by the Romans as the authors of all religious disturbances, they seem to have put forward this man to clear them of all responsibility for the riot. (Bengel’s conjecture, that this was Alexander the coppersmith, 2 Timothy 4:14, has little to support it).
_ _ beckoned with the hand — compare Acts 13:16; Acts 21:40.
_ _ would have made his defence — “offered to speak in defense.” |
Acts 19:33
And they thrust forward — Namely, the artificers and workmen, Alexander — Probably some well — known Christian whom they saw in the crowd: the Jews pushing him on — To expose him to the more danger. And Alexander waving with his hand — In token of desiring silence, would have made a defence — For himself and his brethren. |
