Hechos 13:52

52 Y los discípulos estaban llenos de gozo, y del Espíritu Santo.

Hechos 13:52 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 13:52

And the disciples were filled with joy
Meaning either the "apostles", as the Ethiopic version renders it, Paul and Barnabas; who rejoiced, both at the success they had met with, and because they were counted worthy to suffer reproach and persecution for the sake of Christ and his Gospel: or rather the disciples at Antioch, and other parts of Pisidia, the new converts; who were filled with joy at the Gospel being preached unto them, and at the constancy and courage of the apostles in suffering for it:

and with the Holy Ghost;
which, with the former, designs the same thing as spiritual joy, or joy in the Holy Ghost; or else the gifts and graces of the Spirit, which they had both for their own comfort, and the advantage of others.

Hechos 13:52 In-Context

51 Ellos entonces sacudiendo en ellos el polvo de sus pies, vinieron á Iconio.

52 Y los discípulos estaban llenos de gozo, y del Espíritu Santo.
