Adam Clarke, on Acts 13:16
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Acts 13:16 · Douay-Rheims
“Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.”
On this verse:
“Men of Israel - Ye that are Jews by birth; and ye that fear God - ye that are proselytes to the Jewish religion. In this discourse Paul proves that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, sent from God, not only for the salvation of the Jews, but of the whole human race. And this he does, not with the rhetorician's arts, but in a plain, simple detail of the history of Christ, and the most remarkable transactions of the people of God, which referred to his manifestation in the flesh. Rosenmuller.”
