This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Act 11:18. Ἐδόξαζον, they glorified) A sign of firm (entire) assent.-ἄραγε, so then) It was not immediately evident to the Jews, that salvation was about to come also to the Gentiles: now, when it has come to them, the holy admiration of believers is the greater in proportion: ἄραγε, so then, expresses full approbation. This repentance denotes the whole mention of their spiritual state, and is a token and sample of the conversion of all nations.-ἔδωκε, has given) A great gift: ch. Act 5:31, note. [(Though it is a matter of joy, not sadness, it is a thing) which truly the world is exceedingly afraid of.-V. g.]-εἰς ζωὴν, unto life) For where forgiveness of sins is, there life is. [Eze 18:23.]
