The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas
This phrase highlights the volatile nature of the situation in Philippi. The crowd's involvement indicates a mob mentality, often seen in Acts when the gospel challenges local customs or economic interests. In this case, Paul and Silas had disrupted the income of those profiting from a slave girl's fortune-telling (Acts 16:16-19). The crowd's reaction reflects the common human tendency to resist change and protect economic interests, even at the expense of justice. This mirrors other instances in Acts where the apostles face opposition, such as inActs 19:23-41 in Ephesus, where the silversmiths incite a riot to protect their trade.

and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods
The magistrates in Philippi were Roman officials responsible for maintaining order. Their decision to have Paul and Silas stripped and beaten without a trial reflects the Roman practice of summary justice, especially against those perceived as disturbers of the peace. This punishment was a common Roman method of maintaining control and was intended to publicly humiliate and deter others. The use of rods was typical of Roman punishment, as seen in2 Corinthians 11:25, where Paul recounts being beaten with rods multiple times. This act of injustice against Paul and Silas, who were Roman citizens, sets the stage for their later vindication and the conversion of the jailer, demonstrating God's sovereignty and justice.

What Does Acts 16:22 Mean
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas

• The scene in Philippi escalates after Paul casts the spirit of divination out of the slave girl (Acts 16:16-19).

• Her owners accuse Paul and Silas of disturbing the city and advocating unlawful customs (Acts 16:20-21).

• Mob mentality quickly forms, much like at Jerusalem when the people shouted for Barabbas and against Jesus (Luke 23:18) and in Ephesus when the craftsmen rioted over Artemis (Acts 19:29).

• The verse shows how public opinion, untethered from truth, can erupt into violence against faithful witnesses.

and the magistrates ordered

• The city’s duumvirs, local Roman officials, act decisively, choosing expediency over justice.

• AlthoughRomans 13:3-4 describes rulers as God’s servants for good, here they misuse authority, echoing Pilate’s capitulation to the mob (Luke 23:24).

• Their swift order highlights the cost of gospel ministry in a culture hostile to Christ.

that they be stripped

• Stripping removes dignity and marks the accused as criminals, paralleling how soldiers stripped Jesus before His crucifixion (Mark 15:20).

• Public humiliation intensifies the suffering, yet Paul and Silas later worship freely in prison (Acts 16:25), demonstrating inner freedom untouched by outward shame (Hebrews 12:2).

and beaten with rods

• Roman lictors carried bundles of rods for corporal punishment; Paul references such beatings in2 Corinthians 11:25.

• This flogging—administered without trial though they are Roman citizens—prefigures the adversity promised to believers (John 15:20).

• Despite severe wounds, they press on, later encouraging the Philippian church born from these events (Philippians 1:29-30;1 Thessalonians 2:2).

summary

Acts 16:22 records a literal, violent backlash against gospel proclamation. A stirred-up crowd, abetted by civic leaders, strips and beats Paul and Silas, exposing the counterfeit justice of the world and the steadfast courage of Christ’s servants. Their suffering becomes a platform for praise, the salvation of the jailer, and the planting of the Philippian church, proving that God turns opposition into opportunity for the advance of His kingdom.

(22)Commanded to beat them.--The Greek verb gives the special Roman form of punishment, that of being beaten with the rods of the lictors. This, therefore, takes its place as one of the three instances to which St. Paul refers in2Corinthians 11:25. The question naturally occurs, why he did not, on these occasions, claim, as he did afterwards at Jerusalem (Acts 22:25), the privileges of a Roman citizen. Some have supposed that the violence of the mob rendered it impossible for his claim to be heard. Others have even questioned the truthfulness of his claim. A more natural supposition is that he would not assert in this instance a right which would only have secured exemption for himself, and left his companion to suffer the ignominious penalty of the law, and that by putting thestrategi in the wrong, he sought to secure for his disciples afterwards a more tolerant treatment. As far as the first part of this hypothesis is concerned, it may, perhaps, be accepted (see, however, Note onActs 16:37); but such of the Philippian disciples as belonged to thecolonia, were already protected from outrages of this kind as Roman citizens. Others, however, of the freed-men class, were still liable to them.

Verse 22. - Renttheir garments off them forrent off their clothes, A.V.;beat them with rods forbeat them, A.V.Beat them;ῤαβδίζειν, marking that they were beaten by the lictors, orῤαβδοῦχοι (see ver. 35). The phrase rent ... off (περιῥῤήξαντες) is only found here in the New Testament, but it is frequently used of stripping off garments, in classical Greek and in 2 Macc. 4:38; and by Josephus ('Ant. Jud.,' 6. 14:6) of David rending his garments - a circumstance not mentioned in the Bible narrative (1 Samuel 30:4).
