Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 19:8-10.


Acts 19:9

_ _ when divers — “some.”

_ _ were hardened, etc. — implying that others, probably a large number, believed.

_ _ spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed — from the synagogue, as at Corinth (Acts 18:7).

_ _ and separated the disciples — withdrawing to a separate place of meeting, for the sake both of the converts already made, and the unsophisticated multitude.

_ _ disputing — “discoursing” or “discussing.”

_ _ daily in the school — or lecture hall.

_ _ of one Tyrannus — probably a converted teacher of rhetoric or philosophy.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 19:8-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 19:9

The way — The Christian way of worshipping God. He departed — Leaving them their synagogue to themselves. Discoursing daily — Not on the Sabbath only, in the school of one Tyrannus — Which we do not find was any otherwise consecrated, than by preaching the Gospel there.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 19:9

(3) But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that (d) way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one (e) Tyrannus.

(3) For a man to separate himself and others from infidels who are utterly desperate, is not to divide the Church, but rather to unite it, and make it one.

(d) By this word "way", the Hebrews understand any type of life, and here it is taken for Christianity.

(e) This was a man's proper name.
