Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city.
In the context ofActs 13, Paul and Barnabas are in Pisidian Antioch, a city in the region of Galatia. The "Jews" here refers to the Jewish leaders who were opposed to the message of the Gospel that Paul and Barnabas were preaching. This opposition is a recurring theme in Acts, as seen inActs 9:23 andActs 14:2. The "religious women of prominence" indicates women who held significant social influence, possibly due to their wealth or connections. In the Greco-Roman world, women could hold considerable sway in religious and civic matters, as seen in other historical accounts. The "leading men of the city" were likely members of the local council or influential citizens. This collaboration between Jewish leaders and Gentile authorities against the apostles mirrors the opposition Jesus faced, as seen inLuke 23:1-2, where Jewish leaders incited Roman authorities against Him.

They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas
The phrase "stirred up persecution" suggests a deliberate and organized effort to oppose Paul and Barnabas. This persecution is not merely social ostracism but likely involved legal and physical threats, as seen in other parts of Acts (Acts 14:5,Acts 16:22-24). The opposition to the Gospel often involved both Jewish and Gentile authorities, reflecting the spiritual battle against the spread of Christianity. This persecution fulfills Jesus' prophecy inJohn 15:20, where He warned His disciples that they would face persecution for His name's sake. The apostles' experience here is a type of Christ's own suffering and rejection, emphasizing the cost of discipleship.

and drove them out of their district.
The expulsion of Paul and Barnabas from the district signifies a rejection of the Gospel message by the local authorities. This act of driving them out is reminiscent of Jesus' instruction to His disciples inMatthew 10:14, where He advised them to shake the dust off their feet as a testimony against those who do not receive them. The apostles' departure from Pisidian Antioch does not mark a failure but rather a strategic move in the spread of the Gospel, as they continue their missionary journey to other regions. This pattern of rejection and continued mission work is seen throughout Acts, highlighting the resilience and determination of the early church in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).

Persons / Places / Events

1.Paul and Barnabas
Early Christian missionaries who were spreading the Gospel. They were central figures in the early church and were known for their missionary journeys.

2.Jews
Refers to the Jewish leaders and community members who opposed the message of Paul and Barnabas, often due to jealousy or fear of losing influence.

3.Religious Women of Prominence
Influential women in the city who were likely respected and had significant social standing. Their involvement indicates the strategic approach of the opposition.

4.Leading Men of the City
Civic leaders who held power and authority in the local government. Their involvement shows the extent of the opposition against Paul and Barnabas.

5.Persecution and Expulsion
The act of driving Paul and Barnabas out of the district, which was a common response to their preaching in various cities.

Teaching Points

Expect Opposition
As followers of Christ, we should anticipate resistance when sharing the Gospel. This is a natural part of the Christian journey.

Strategic Opposition
Notice how the opposition used influential figures to achieve their goals. We must be aware of how societal structures can be used against the spread of the Gospel.

Perseverance in Mission
Despite being expelled, Paul and Barnabas continued their mission. We are called to persevere in our faith and mission, even when faced with challenges.

Influence of Prominent Figures
The involvement of prominent women and leading men shows the power of influence. As Christians, we should seek to be positive influences in our communities.

Handling Rejection
Paul and Barnabas' response to rejection teaches us to handle opposition with grace and to continue our mission elsewhere when necessary.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(50)The Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women.--The fact stated brings before us another feature of the relations between Jews and Gentiles at this period. They "compassed sea and land to make one proselyte" (Matthew 23:15). They found it easier to make proselytes of women. Such conversions had their good and their bad sides. In many cases there was a real longing for a higher and purer life than was found in the infinite debasement of Greek and Roman society, which found its satisfaction in the life and faith of Israel. (See Notes onActs 17:4;Acts 17:12.) But with many, such as Juvenal speaks of when he describes (Sat. vi. 542) the Jewish teacher who gains influence over women--

"Arcanam Judaea tremens mendicat in aurem

Interpres legum Solymarum"--

["The trembling Jewess whispers in her ear,

And tells her of the laws of Solymse,"][3][3] Solymae, of course, stands for Jerusalem.

the change brought with it new elements of superstition and weakness, and absolute submission of conscience to its new directors, and thus the Rabbis were often to the wealthier women of Greek and Roman cities what Jesuit confessors were in France and Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Here we get the darker side of the picture. The Jews stir up the women of the upper class, and they stir up their husbands. The latter were content apparently to acquiesce in their wives accepting the Judaism with which they had become familiar, but resented the intrusion of a new and, in one sense, more exacting doctrine. . . .
