Hechos 21:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:19

And when he had saluted them
James and the elders with him; which was either done by a kiss, as the Arabic version adds; or by asking of their health, and wishing a continuance of it, and all prosperity to attend them: the Ethiopic version reads,

they saluted him;
and no doubt the salutations were reciprocal:

he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the
Gentiles by his ministry;
it is very likely that this account begins where that ends, which he had delivered in the presence of James, and others, some years ago, ( Acts 15:12 ) and takes in all his travels and ministry, and the success of it; not only in Syria, Cilicia, and Lycaonia, after he had set out from Antioch again, but in Macedonia, Achaia, and Asia; as at Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, and elsewhere: he declared, what multitudes of souls were converted, and what numbers of churches were planted; and this he ascribes not to himself, but to the power and grace of God, which had attended his ministry; he was only an instrument, God was the efficient, and ought to have the glory.

Hechos 21:19 In-Context

17 Cuando llegamos, los hermanos de Jerusalén nos dieron una calurosa bienvenida.

18 Al día siguiente, Pablo fue con nosotros para encontrarnos con Santiago, y todos los ancianos de la iglesia de Jerusalén estaban presentes.

19 Después de saludarlos, Pablo dio un informe detallado de las cosas que Dios había realizado entre los gentiles mediante su ministerio.

20 Después de oírlo, alabaron a Dios. Luego dijeron: «Tú sabes, querido hermano, cuántos miles de judíos también han creído, y todos ellos siguen muy en serio la ley de Moisés;

21 pero se les ha dicho a los creyentes judíos de aquí, de Jerusalén, que tú enseñas a todos los judíos que viven entre los gentiles que abandonen la ley de Moisés. Ellos han oído que les enseñas que no circunciden a sus hijos ni que practiquen otras costumbres judías.
