This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 20:23. [Πλὴν ὅτι, except that) In general terms, bonds and afflictions were indicated to Paul.-V. g.]-κατὰ πόλιν, in every city) It was for the good of all to know, and all profited in seeing the obedience of Paul, and in hearing him with the greater eagerness, as not being about to see him any more. Hence too was made evident the greatness of (his and their) afflictions. Those which appertained to Paul himself were indicated to Paul by others. [Comp. ch. Act 21:4; Act 21:11, Agabus’ prophecy, with the symbolical binding with Paul’s girdle.]
