Commentaries on Acts 13:50

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 50Devout and honorable women - It is likely that these were heathen matrons, who had become proselytes to the Jewish religion; and, as they were persons of affluence and respectability, they had considerable influence with the civil magistracy of the place, and probably their husbands were of this order; and it is likely that they used that influence, at the instigation of the Jews, to get the apostles expelled from the place.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 50But the Jews stirred up - Excited opposition. Honourable women - See the notes on Mark 15:43. Women of influence, and connected with families of rank. Perhaps they were proselytes, and were connected with the magistrates of the city. And raised persecution - Probably on the ground that they produced disorder.

They shook the dust off their feet as a sign of rejection, as Jesus had taught his disciples (see Matthew 10:14–15; Mark 6:11–12; Luke 9:5–6; 10:10–11). That place was then treated as pagan (not worshiping the true God). Paul and Barnabas left that place in order to reach other people who might be more open to the message of new life in Christ.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 49-5249-52. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region--implying some stay in Antioch and missionary activity in its vicinity.Read the comment
