Acts 9:29 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘Preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and disputed against the Grecian Jews, but they were seeking to kill him.'

And with the boldness imparted by the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:31) he went out and proclaimed the Good News in the name of the Lord. Furthermore he did not forget the past and he went to the Hellenistic synagogues which had proved to be the death of Stephen. Perhaps they would listen to him. With the exodus from Jerusalem of the Hellenistic Christians evangelism to them had probably been neglected. And there he disputed with the Hellenistic Jews. But nothing had changed them and they began to plan his death.

Acts 9:29

29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
