Apostelgeschichte 19:30 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:30

And when Paul would have entered in unto the people
In the theatre, in order to have preached to the people, and to have removed their prejudices against him, and the Gospel preached by him, and to have shown them the error and evil of their idolatrous ways and worship, and to have reconciled them to him, and his friends, and to have persuaded them to do them no hurt; which shows the apostle's greatness of soul, his firmness, constancy, and intrepidity, and his great concern and affection for his companions, to risk his life in this manner: but

the disciples suffered him not;
the believers, the members of the church at Ephesus would by no means agree to it, but dissuaded him from it; who hereby, on their part, showed great love to him, and what a value they had for him, and how much they esteemed the life of so great an apostle, and faithful preacher of the Gospel. The Ethiopic version renders it, "the apostles prohibited him"; but there were none of that office with him.

Apostelgeschichte 19:30 In-Context

28 Als sie das hörten, wurden sie voll Zorns, schrieen und sprachen: Groß ist die Diana der Epheser!
29 Und die ganze Stadt war voll Getümmels; sie stürmten aber einmütig zu dem Schauplatz und ergriffen Gajus und Aristarchus aus Mazedonien, des Paulus Gefährten.
30 Da aber Paulus wollte unter das Volk gehen, ließen's ihm die Jünger nicht zu.
31 Auch etliche der Obersten in Asien, die des Paulus gute Freunde waren, sandten zu ihm und ermahnten ihn, daß er sich nicht begäbe auf den Schauplatz.
32 Etliche schrieen so, etliche ein anderes, und die Gemeinde war irre, und die meisten wußten nicht, warum sie zusammengekommen waren.
