Hechos 20:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:19

Serving the Lord with all humility of mind
Meaning, in the ministration of the Gospel, being conscious to himself of his own weakness and insufficiency in himself for such service; no ways elated with those excellent and extraordinary gifts bestowed upon him; ascribing all his success to the power, grace, and Spirit of God; treating no man with contempt and disdain; nor lording it over God's heritage, or claiming a dominion over the faith of men; nor seeking honour nor riches for himself, nor even what he had a just right unto, a maintenance from the people; but laboured with his own hands, and to his own and the necessities of others:

and with many tears;
at the obstinacy and unbelief of some, and at the distresses and afflictions of others, both corporeal and spiritual; as well as on account of the unbecoming walk of some professors:

and temptations which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
who were hardened against his ministrations, and believed not the Gospel preached by him, but spoke evil of it, and lay in wait to take away his life; by reason of which, his afflictions, which he calls temptations, because they were trials of his faith and patience, were very great.

Hechos 20:19 In-Context

19 he hecho el trabajo del Señor con humildad y con muchas lágrimas. He soportado las pruebas que me vinieron como consecuencia de las conspiraciones de los judíos.

20 Nunca me eché para atrás a la hora de decirles lo que necesitaban oír, ya fuera en público o en sus casas.

21 He tenido un solo mensaje para los judíos y los griegos por igual: la necesidad de arrepentirse del pecado, de volver a Dios y de tener fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
