Acts 13:42 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The next sabbath; or in some day betwixt the sabbaths: the apostles took all advantages, if there were a festival, which was also called a sabbath, Leviticus 16:31, and in Leviticus 23:1-44, frequently; they would preach in season and out of season: howsoever, because we find the apostles did meet again with them on that day seven-night after, it is most probable that their desire was so to be understood. See Acts 13:44.
