Context of Acts 16:34
32And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway. And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God. 35And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go. 36And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.

Commentaries on Acts 16:34
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 34He set meat before them - They were sufficiently exhausted, and needed refreshment; nor had the apostles any such inherent miraculous power as could prevent them from suffering through hunger, or enable them to heal their own grounds. As they were the instruments of bringing health to his soul, he became the instrument of health to their bodies. Genuine faith in Christ will always be accompanied with benevolence and humanity, and every fruit that such…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 34He set meat before them - Food. Greek: “he placed a table.” The word “meat” formerly meant “food” of all kinds. And rejoiced - This was the effect of believing.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 25-34Verses 25-34 The consolations of God to his suffering servants are neither few nor small.

Christianity proves itself to be of God, in that it obliges us to be just to our own lives. Paul cried…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 31-3431-34. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved--The brevity, simplicity, and directness of this reply are, in the circumstances, singularly beautiful. Enough at that moment to have his faith directed simply to the Saviour, with the assurance that this would bring to his soul the needed and sought salvation--the how being a matter for after teaching. thou shalt be saved, and thy house--(See on Lu 19:10).Read the comment
