Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Acts 13:15
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Acts 13:15 · Douay-Rheims
“And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.”
On this verse:
“Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand--as was his manner on such occasions (Act 21:40; and see Act 26:1). Men of Israel, and ye that fear God--by the latter expression meaning religious proselytes, who united with the Jews in all acts of ordinary worship. and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in Egypt--by marvellous interpositions for them in their deepest depression.”
