This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
they looked - “continued looking.”
when he should have swollen or fallen down dead - familiar with the effects of such bites.
and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said ... he was a god - from “a murderer” to “a god,” as the Lycaonian greeting of Paul and Silas from “sacrificing to them” to “stoning them” (Act 14:13, Act 14:19). What has not the Gospel done for the uncultivated portion of the human family, while its effects on the educated and refined, though very different, are not less marvelous! Verily it is God’s chosen restorative for the human spirit, in all the multitudinous forms and gradations of its lapsed state.
