Matthew Henry's Complete Bible Commentary

Acts 18

In this chapter we have, I. Paul’s coming to Corinth, his private converse with Aquila and Priscilla, and his public reasonings with the Jews, from whom, when they rejected him, he turned to the Gentiles, Acts 18:1-18:6. II. The great success of his ministry there, and the encouragement Christ gave him in a vision to continue his labours there, in hopes of further success, Acts 18:7-18:11. III. The molestations which after some time he met with there from the Jews, which he got pretty well through by the coldness of Gallio, the Roman governor, in the cause, Acts 18:12-18:17. IV. The progress Paul made through many countries, after he had continued long at Corinth, for the edifying and watering of the churches which he had founded and planted, in which circuit he made a short visit to Jerusalem, Acts 18:18-18:23. V. An account of Apollo’s improvement in knowledge, and of his usefulness in the church, Acts 18:24-18:28. MHBCC 1037.1
