Acts 9:31
_ _ Flourishing state of the Church in Palestine at this time.
_ _ Then had all the churches rest — rather, “the Church,” according to the best manuscripts and versions. But this rest was owing not so much to the conversion of Saul, as probably to the Jews being engrossed with the emperor Caligula’s attempt to have his own image set up in the temple of Jerusalem [Josephus, Antiquities, 18.8.1, etc.].
_ _ throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria — This incidental notice of distinct churches already dotting all the regions which were the chief scenes of our Lord’s ministry, and that were best able to test the facts on which the whole preaching of the apostles was based, is extremely interesting. “The fear of the Lord” expresses their holy walk; “the comfort of the Holy Ghost,” their “peace and joy in believing,” under the silent operation of the blessed Comforter. |
Acts 9:31
Then the Church — The whole body of Christian believers, had peace — Their bitterest persecutor being converted. And being built up — In holy, loving faith, continually increasing, and walking in — That is, speaking and acting only from this principle, the fear of God and the comfort of the Holy Ghost — An excellent mixture of inward and outward peace, tempered with filial fear. |
Acts 9:31
(9) Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were (n) edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
(9) The result of persecutions is the building of the Church, so that we will patiently wait for the Lord.
(n) This is a borrowed type of speech which signifies establishment and increase. |
