This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Act 28:15. Οἱ ἀδελφοὶ, the brethren) Christians.-ἀπάντησιν, to meet us) Offices of kindness towards foreigners are implied in προπέμπειν, ἀπαντᾶν, to escort on the way, and to go to meet.-ἄχρις, even to) He met with some in Appii Forum, others afterwards at the Three Taverns.-εὐχαριστήσας, having given thanks) for having obtained his wish, to see Rome: ch. Act 19:21; Rom 1:11, “For I long to see you;” Act 15:23.-ἔκαβε θάρσος, took courage) actively. He saw that Christ is even at Rome. There was not always the same degree of confident energy even in Paul. He already forgets the troubles of his journey. Ammonius says that θράσος is an unreasonable impulse; but θράσος, a rational impulse.
