Context of Acts 13:42
40Be careful then! Remember what God's prophets spoke about long ago. Do not let that happen to you. This is what one of them wrote: 41“Listen to me, you people who laugh at God! You will be surprised at the great things that I do. And then you will die. I am working now, while you are still alive. But still you will not believe what is true. Even if someone explains everything to you, you will never believe.” ’ After Paul spoke this message, he and Barnabas were leaving the meeting place. The people there said to them, ‘Please return on our next day of rest. Then you can tell us more about what you have already told us.’ 43When the meeting finished, many people followed Paul and Barnabas. Some of them were Jews. Others were Gentiles who now worshipped God. Paul and Barnabas said to them, ‘God has been very kind to you. You should continue to trust him.’ 44On the next Jewish day of rest, almost everyone in the town came together to hear the Lord God's message.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 42When the Jews were gone out - That part of them in whom the words of the prophet were fulfilled, viz. those who, though they had the clearest relation of so interesting a history, would not believe it: they shut their eyes against the light, and hardened their hearts against the truth.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 42And when the Jews - There is a great variety in the mss. on this verse, and in the ancient versions. Griesbach and Knapp read it, “And when they were gone out, they besought them that these words might be spoken, etc.” The Syriac reads it, “When they departed from them, they sought from them that these words might be spoken to them on another Sabbath.” The Arabic, “Some of the synagogue of the Jews asked of them that they would exhort the Gentiles with…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 42-52Verses 42-52 The Jews opposed the doctrine the apostles preached; and when they could find no objection, they blasphemed Christ and his gospel. Commonly those who begin with contradicting, end with blaspheming. But when adversaries of Christ's cause are daring, its advocates should be the bolder. And while many judge themselves unworthy of eternal life, others, who appear less likely, desire to hear more of the glad tidings of salvation. This is according…Read the comment
