Commentaries on Acts 18:12
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12When Gallio was the deputy of Achaia - The Romans comprehended, under the name of Achaia, all that part of Greece which lay between Thessaly and the southernmost coasts of Peloponnesus. Pausanias, in Attic. vii. 16, says that the Romans were accustomed to send a governor into that country, and that they called him the governor of Achaia, not of Greece; because the Achaeans, when they subdued Greece, were the leaders in all the Grecian affairs see also…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12And Gallio - After the Romans had conquered Greece they reduced it to two provinces, Macedonia and Achaia, which were each governed by a proconsul. Gallio was the brother of the celebrated philosopher Seneca, and was made proconsul of Achaia in 53 a.d.

He is mentioned by ancient writers as having been of a remarkably mild and…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-17Verses 12-17 Paul was about to show that he did not teach men to worship God contrary to law; but the judge would not allow the Jews to complain to him of what was not within his office.

But it was wrong to speak slightly of a law and religion which he might have known to be of God, and…Read the comment

An ancient inscription shows that Gallio was governor around AD 51–52. This helps scholars date Paul’s visit to Corinth to about the same time.Read the comment
