ye will not believe though a man declare it unto you--that is, even on unexceptionable testimony. The words, from Hab 1:5, were originally a merciful but fruitless warning against the approaching destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans and the Babylonish captivity. As such nothing could more fitly describe the more awful calamity impending over the generation which the apostle addressed.

The door was opened in the baptizing of Cornelius and his friends; but since then we had the gospel preached to the Jews only, Act 11:19. It should seem as if the light which began to shine upon the Gentile world had withdrawn itself. But here in this chapter that work, that great good work, is revived in the midst of the years; and though the Jews shall still have the first offer of the gospel made to them, yet, upon their refusal, the Gentiles shall have their share of the offer of it. Here is, I. The solemn ordination of Barnabas and Saul, by divine direction, to the ministry, to the great work of spreading the gospel among the nations about (and it is probable that other apostles or apostolical men dispersed themselves by order from Christ, upon the same errand (Act 13:1-3). II. Their preaching the gospel in Cyprus, and the opposition they met with there from Elymas the sorcerer (Act 13:4-13). III. The heads of a sermon which Paul preached to the Jews at Antioch in Pisidia, in their synagogue, which is given us as a specimen of what they usually preached to the Jews, and the method they took with them (v. 14-41). IV. The preaching of the gospel to the Gentiles at their request, and upon the Jews' refusal of it, wherein the apostles justified themselves against the displeasure which the Jews conceived at it, and God owned them (Act 13:42-49). V. The trouble which the infidel Jews gave to the apostles, which obliged them to remove to another place (Act 13:50-52), so that the design of this chapter is to show how cautiously, how gradually, and with what good reason the apostles carried…

«اُنْظُرُوا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَأَبْصِرُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا حَيْرَةً. لأَنِّي عَامِلٌ عَمَلاً فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ لاَ تُصَدِّقُونَ بِهِ إِنْ أُخْبِرَ بِهِ.
لأَنَّهُ الْوَقْتُ لابْتِدَاءِ الْقَضَاءِ مِنْ بَيْتِ اللهِ. فَإِنْ كَانَ أَوَّلاً مِنَّا، فَمَا هِيَ نِهَايَةُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُطِيعُونَ إِنْجِيلَ اللهِ؟
فَتَقُولَ: «كَيْفَ أَنِّي أَبْغَضْتُ الأَدَبَ، وَرَذَلَ قَلْبِي التَّوْبِبيخَ!
لأَنْ هكَذَا أَوْصَانَا الرَّبُّ: قَدْ أَقَمْتُكَ نُورًا لِلأُمَمِ، لِتَكُونَ أَنْتَ خَلاَصًا إِلَى أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ».
يَمْنَعُونَنَا عَنْ أَنْ نُكَلِّمَ الأُمَمَ لِكَيْ يَخْلُصُوا، حَتَّى يُتَمِّمُوا خَطَايَاهُمْ كُلَّ حِينٍ. وَلكِنْ قَدْ أَدْرَكَهُمُ الْغَضَبُ إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ.
لأَنَّنَا سَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ يَسُوعَ النَّاصِرِيَّ هذَا سَيَنْقُضُ هذَا الْمَوْضِعَ، وَيُغَيِّرُ الْعَوَائِدَ الَّتِي سَلَّمَنَا إِيَّاهَا مُوسَى».
فَقَالَ لِي: اذْهَبْ، فَإِنِّي سَأُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى الأُمَمِ بَعِيدًا».
وَكَانَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضًا يَسْمَعُونَ هذَا كُلَّهُ، وَهُمْ مُحِبُّونَ لِلْمَالِ، فَاسْتَهْزَأُوا بِهِ.
وَتُخْلِفُونَ اسْمَكُمْ لَعْنَةً لِمُخْتَارِيَّ، فَيُمِيتُكَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ وَيُسَمِّي عَبِيدَهُ اسْمًا آخَرَ.
لِذلِكَ كَمَا يَأْكُلُ لَهِيبُ النَّارِ الْقَشَّ، وَيَهْبِطُ الْحَشِيشُ الْمُلْتَهِبُ، يَكُونُ أَصْلُهُمْ كَالْعُفُونَةِ، وَيَصْعَدُ زَهْرُهُمْ كَالْغُبَارِ، لأَنَّهُمْ رَذَلُوا شَرِيعَةَ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِكَلاَمِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
