this continued . . . two years--in addition to the former three months. See on Act 20:31. But during some part of this period he must have paid a second unrecorded visit to Corinth, since the one next recorded (see on Act 20:2-3) is twice called his third visit (Co2 12:14; Co2 13:1). See on Co2 1:15-16, which might seem inconsistent with this. The passage across was quite a short one (see on Act 18:19) --Towards the close of this long stay at Ephesus, as we learn from Co1 16:8, he wrote his FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS; also (though on this opinions are divided) the EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS. (See Introduction to First Corinthians, and Introduction to Galatians). And just as at Corinth his greatest success was after his withdrawal to a separate place of meeting (Act 18:7-10), so at Ephesus.
so that all they which dwelt in--the Roman province of
Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks--This is the "great door and effectual opened unto him" while resident at Ephesus (Co1 16:9), which induced him to make it his headquarters for so long a period. The unwearied and varied character of his labors here are best seen in his own subsequent address to the elders of Ephesus (Act 20:17, &c.). And thus Ephesus became the "ecclesiastical center for the entire region, as indeed it remained for a very long period" [BAUMGARTEN]. Churches arose at Colosse, Laodicea, and Hierapolis eastward, either through his own labors or those of his faithful helpers whom he sent out in different directions, Epaphras, Archippus, Philemon (Col 1:7; Col 4:12-17; Plm 1:23). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
This continued - This public instruction.
By the space ... - For two whole years.
So that all - That is, the great mass of the people.
Which dwelt in Asia - In that province of Asia Minor of which Ephesus was the principal city. The name Asia was used sometimes to denote that single province. See the notes on Act 2:9. Ephesus was the capital; and there was, of course, a constant and large influx of people there for the purposes of commerce and worship.
Heard the word of the Lord Jesus - Heard the doctrine respecting the Lord Jesus. |

See on Act 2:9. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
All who desired it among the inhabitants of the proconsular Asia, now heard the word: St. Paul had been forbidden to preach it in Asia before, Act 16:6. But now the time was come. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
By the space of two years - The schoolhouse of Tyrannus was his regular chapel; and it is likely that in it he taught Christianity, as Tyrannus taught languages or sciences.
All they - in Asia heard the word - Meaning, probably, the Proconsular Asia, for the extent of which see the note on Act 16:6.
Jews and Greeks - For, although he ceased preaching in the synagogues of the Jews, yet they continued to hear him in the school of Tyrannus. But it is likely that Paul did not confine himself to this place, but went about through the different towns and villages; without which, how could all Asia have heard the word? By Greeks, we are to understand, not only the proselytes of the gate, but the heathens in general. |
23 There salute [782] thee [4571] Epaphras [1889], my [3450] fellowprisoner [4869] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424];
12 Epaphras [1889], who is one of [1537] you [5216], a servant [1401] of Christ [5547], saluteth [782] you [5209], always [3842] labouring fervently [75] for [5228] you [5216] in [1722] prayers [4335], that [2443] ye may stand [2476] perfect [5046] and [2532] complete [4137] in [1722] all [3956] the will [2307] of God [2316].
13 For [1063] I bear [3140] him [846] record [3140], that [3754] he hath [2192] a great [4183] zeal [2205] for [5228] you [5216], and [2532] them that are in [1722] Laodicea [2993], and [2532] them in [1722] Hierapolis [2404].
14 Luke [3065], the beloved [27] physician [2395], and [2532] Demas [1214], greet [782] you [5209].
15 Salute [782] the brethren [80] which are in [1722] Laodicea [2993], and [2532] Nymphas [3564], and [2532] the church [1577] which is in [2596] his [846] house [3624].
16 And [2532] when [3752] this epistle [1992] is read [314] among [3844] you [5213], cause [4160] that [2443] it be read [314] also [2532] in [1722] the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994]; and [2532] that [2443] ye [5210] [314] likewise [2532] read [314] the epistle from [1537] Laodicea [2993].
17 And [2532] say [2036] to Archippus [751], Take heed [991] to the ministry [1248] which [3739] thou hast received [3880] in [1722] the Lord [2962], that [2443] thou fulfil [4137] it [846].
7 As [2531] ye [3129] also [2532] learned [3129] of [575] Epaphras [1889] our [2257] dear [27] fellowservant [4889], who [3739] is [2076] for [5228] you [5216] a faithful [4103] minister [1249] of Christ [5547];
17 And [1161] from [575] Miletus [3399] he sent [3992] to [1519] Ephesus [2181], and called [3333] the elders [4245] of the church [1577].
9 For [1063] a great [3173] door [2374] and [2532] effectual [1756] is opened [455] unto me [3427], and [2532] there are many [4183] adversaries [480].
7 And [2532] he departed [3327] thence [1564], and entered [2064] into [1519] a certain [5100] man's house [3614], named [3686] Justus [2459], one that worshipped [4576] God [2316], whose [3739] house [3614] joined hard [4927] [2258] to the synagogue [4864].
8 And [1161] Crispus [2921], the chief ruler of the synagogue [752], believed [4100] on the Lord [2962] with [4862] all [3650] his [846] house [3624]; and [2532] many [4183] of the Corinthians [2881] hearing [191] believed [4100], and [2532] were baptized [907].
9 Then [1161] spake [2036] the Lord [2962] to Paul [3972] in [1223] the night [3571] by [1722] a vision [3705], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399], but [235] speak [2980], and [2532] hold [4623] not [3361] thy peace [4623]:
10 For [1360] I [1473] am [1510] with [3326] thee [4675], and [2532] no man [3762] shall set on [2007] thee [4671] to hurt [2559] thee [4571]: for [1360] I [3427] have [2076] much [4183] people [2992] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172].
8 But [1161] I will tarry [1961] at [1722] Ephesus [2181] until [2193] Pentecost [4005].
19 And [1161] he came [2658] to [1519] Ephesus [2181], and [2548] left [2641] them there [847]: but [1161] he himself [846] entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864], and reasoned with [1256] the Jews [2453].
15 And [2532] in this [5026] confidence [4006] I was minded [1014] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] before [4386], that [2443] ye might have [2192] a second [1208] benefit [5485];
16 And [2532] to pass [1330] by [1223] you [5216] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], and [2532] to come [2064] again [3825] out of [575] Macedonia [3109] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] of [5259] you [5216] to be brought on my way [4311] toward [1519] Judaea [2449].
1 This [5124] is the third [5154] time I am coming [2064] to [4314] you [5209]. In [1909] the mouth [4750] of two [1417] or [2532] three [5140] witnesses [3144] shall [2476] every [3956] word [4487] be established [2476].
14 Behold [2400], the third time [5154] I am [2192] ready [2093] to come [2064] to [4314] you [5209]; and [2532] I will [2655] not [3756] be burdensome [2655] to you [5216]: for [1063] I seek [2212] not [3756] yours [5216], but [235] you [5209]: for [1063] the children [5043] ought [3784] not [3756] to lay up [2343] for the parents [1118], but [235] the parents [1118] for the children [5043].
2 And [1161] when he had gone over [1330] those [1565] parts [3313], and [2532] had given [4183] them [846] much [4183] exhortation [3870] [3056], he came [2064] into [1519] Greece [1671],
3 And [5037] there abode [4160] three [5140] months [3376]. And when the Jews [5259] [2453] laid [1096] wait [1917] for him [846], as he was about [3195] to sail [321] into [1519] Syria [4947], he purposed [1096] [1106] to return [5290] through [1223] Macedonia [3109].
31 Therefore [1352] watch [1127], and remember [3421], that [3754] by the space of three years [5148] I ceased [3973] not [3756] to warn [3560] every [1538] one [1520] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250] with [3326] tears [1144].
