Hechos 9:29 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:29

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus
He spoke the Gospel of Christ boldly, as it ought to be spoken; he spoke it openly, publicly, freely, and faithfully, not fearing the faces or revilings of any: the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions add, "to the Gentiles"; but this is not in any of the Greek copies: and disputed against the Grecians; or Hellenists, that is, the Hellenistical Jews; by whom are meant, not Greeks proselyted to the Jewish religion, but Jews who had been born and brought up in Greece, or at least had learned the Greek language, and used the Greek Bible; and so the Syriac version renders it, "he disputed with the Jews that knew Greek"; perhaps the same persons, of the synagogue of the Libertines, Alexandrians, Cyrenians, and of Cilicia and Asia, who disputed with Stephen, with whom he had before joined, ( Acts 6:9 Acts 6:10 )

but they went about to slay him;
he being an over match for them; and they not being able to resist him, but being confuted, and confounded, and put to silence, they were filled with indignation; and since they could not conquer him by arguments, they were for slaying him with the sword.

Hechos 9:29 In-Context

27 Entonces Bernab茅 se lo llev贸 a los ap贸stoles y les cont贸 c贸mo Saulo hab铆a visto al Se帽or en el camino a Damasco y c贸mo el Se帽or le hab铆a hablado a Saulo. Tambi茅n les dijo que, en Damasco, Saulo hab铆a predicado con valent铆a en el nombre de Jes煤s.
28 As铆 que Saulo se qued贸 con los ap贸stoles y los acompa帽贸 por toda Jerusal茅n, predicando con valor en el nombre del Se帽or.
29 Debati贸 con algunos jud铆os que hablaban griego, pero ellos trataron de matarlo.
30 Cuando los creyentes
se enteraron, lo llevaron a Cesarea y lo enviaron a Tarso, su ciudad natal.
31 La iglesia, entonces, tuvo paz por toda Judea, Galilea y Samaria; se fortalec铆a y los creyentes viv铆an en el temor del Se帽or. Y, con la ayuda del Esp铆ritu Santo, tambi茅n creci贸 en n煤mero.
