Context of Acts 18:7

5When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself to preaching the word and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah. 6When they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his clothes and told them, “Your blood is on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” So he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole household. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized. 9The Lord said to Paul in a night vision, “Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent.

Commentaries on Acts 18:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7And he departed thence - From his former lodging, or that quarter of the city where he had dwelt before with Aquila and Priscilla; and went to lodge with Justus, apparently a proselyte of the gate. This person is called Titus, and Titus Justus, in several MSS. and versions.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7A certain man‘s house - Probably he had become a convert to the Christian faith. Joined hard - Was near to the synagogue.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-11Verses 7-11 The Lord knows those that are his, yea, and those that shall be his; for it is by his work upon them that they become his. Let us not despair concerning any place, when even in wicked Corinth Christ had much people. He will gather in his chosen flock from the places where they are scattered Thus encouraged, the apostle continued at Corinth, and a numerous and flourishing church grew up.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7Titius Justus (“Titus the Just”) was a Gentile who worshiped God. People like him are often called “God-fearers” (non-Jews who worship the God of Israel; see study note on 10:2). The name Titus was a common Roman name, so the second name or title Justus helps to tell him apart from the better-known Titus, who worked with Paul ("Titus" in 2 Corinthians 2:13; 7:6, 13; 8:6, 16, 23).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-87-8. he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus--not changing his lodging, as if Aquila and Priscilla up to this time were with the opponents of the apostle [Alford], but merely ceasing any more to testify in the synagogue, and henceforth carrying on his labors in this house of Justus, which "joining hard to the synagogue," would be easily accessible to such of its worshippers as were still open to light. Justus, too, being…Read the comment
