Acts 20:31 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

OLBGrk;

Watch; take heed yourselves, and warn others to take heed. By the space of three years; from St. Paul's first coming to Ephesus it was three years current, and now almost complete, Acts 19:8,10 Acts 20:3. With tears; a great, and no feigned payov; as Christ wept over Jerusalem, Luke 19:41, so St. Paul over the unbelieving Jews; it went to his heart to think that they could not be saved. See how St. Paul loved souls, and pitied souls.

Acts 20:31

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
