Acts 20:35 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

I have showed you — Bishops, by my example, all things — And this among the rest; that thus labouring — So far as the labours of your office allow you time; ye ought to help the weak — Those who are disabled by sickness, or any bodily infirmity, from maintaining themselves by their own labour. And to remember — Effectually, so as to follow it; the word which he himself said — Without doubt his disciples remembered many of his words which are not recorded. It is happier to give — To imitate God, and have him, as it were, indebted to us.

Acts 20:35

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
