فَقَامَ الْجَمْعُ مَعًا عَلَيْهِمَا، وَمَزَّقَ الْوُلاَةُ ثِيَابَهُمَا وَأَمَرُوا أَنْ يُضْرَبَا بِالْعِصِيِّ.

the multitude rose up together against them--so Act 19:28, Act 19:34; Act 21:30; Luk 23:18. the magistrates rent off their--Paul's and Silas' clothes--that is, ordered the lictors, or rod-bearers, to tear them off, so as to expose their naked bodies (see on Act 16:37). The word expresses the roughness with which this was done to prisoners preparatory to whipping. and commanded to beat them--without any trial (Act 16:37), to appease the popular rage. Thrice, it seems, Paul endured this indignity (Co2 11:25).

But Paul, as he was recommended by the brethren to the grace of God, so his services for Christ after this are largely recorded; we are to attend him in this chapter from place to place, wherever he came doing good, either watering or planting, beginning new work or improving what was done. Here is, I. The beginning of his acquaintance with Timothy, and taking him to be his assistant (Act 16:1-3). II. The visit he made to the churches for their establishment (Act 16:4, Act 16:5). III. His call to Macedonia (after a restraint he had been under from going to some other places), and his coming to Philippi, the chief city of Macedonia, with his entertainment there (Act 16:6-13). IV. The conversion of Lydia there (Act 16:14, Act 16:15). V. The casing of an evil spirit out of a damsel (Act 16:16-18). VI. The accusing and abusing of Paul and Silas for it, their imprisonment, and the indignities done them (Act 16:19-24). VII. The miraculous conversion of the jailer to the faith of Christ (Act 16:25-34). VIII. The honourable discharge of Paul and Silas by the magistrates (Act 16:35-40).

بَلْ بَعْدَ مَا تَأَلَّمْنَا قَبْلاً وَبُغِيَ عَلَيْنَا كَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ، فِي فِيلِبِّي، جَاهَرْنَا فِي إِلهِنَا أَنْ نُكَلِّمَكُمْ بِإِنْجِيلِ اللهِ، فِي جِهَادٍ كَثِيرٍ.
فِي ضَرَبَاتٍ، فِي سُجُونٍ، فِي اضْطِرَابَاتٍ، فِي أَتْعَابٍ، فِي أَسْهَارٍ، فِي أَصْوَامٍ،
وَآخَرُونَ تَجَرَّبُوا فِي هُزُءٍ وَجَلْدٍ، ثُمَّ فِي قُيُودٍ أَيْضًا وَحَبْسٍ.
حِينَئِذٍ أَطْلَقَ لَهُمْ بَارَابَاسَ، وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَجَلَدَهُ وَأَسْلَمَهُ لِيُصْلَبَ.
الَّذِي حَمَلَ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ خَطَايَانَا فِي جَسَدِهِ عَلَى الْخَشَبَةِ، لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ عَنِ الْخَطَايَا فَنَحْيَا لِلْبِرِّ. الَّذِي بِجَلْدَتِهِ شُفِيتُمْ.
فَغَارَ الْيَهُودُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَاتَّخَذُوا رِجَالاً أَشْرَارًا مِنْ أَهْلِ السُّوقِ، وَتَجَمَّعُوا وَسَجَّسُوا الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَامُوا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَاسُونَ طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُحْضِرُوهُمَا إِلَى الشَّعْبِ.
وَلكِنِ احْذَرُوا مِنَ النَّاسِ، لأَنَّهُمْ سَيُسْلِمُونَكُمْ إِلَى مَجَالِسَ، وَفِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ يَجْلِدُونَكُمْ.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بُولُسُ:«ضَرَبُونَا جَهْرًا غَيْرَ مَقْضِيٍّ عَلَيْنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَجُلاَنِ رُومَانِيَّانِ، وَأَلْقَوْنَا فِي السِّجْنِ. أَفَالآنَ يَطْرُدُونَنَا سِرًّا؟ كَلاَّ! بَلْ لِيَأْتُوا هُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَيُخْرِجُونَا».
فَانْقَادُوا إِلَيْهِ. وَدَعُوا الرُّسُلَ وَجَلَدُوهُمْ، وَأَوْصَوْهُمْ أَنْ لاَ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِاسْمِ يَسُوعَ، ثُمَّ أَطْلَقُوهُمْ.
وَلَمَّا كَانَ غَالِيُونُ يَتَوَلَّى أَخَائِيَةَ، قَامَ الْيَهُودُ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ عَلَى بُولُسَ، وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْوِلاَيَةِ
