This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 8:35. Ἀνοίξας, having opened) Already he had spoken some things; but now he lays himself out (formally applies himself) to speak. So ch. Act 10:34.-ἀρξάμενος, having begun) A convenient mode of teaching, to begin with the text which has been presented to us, and to subjoin the remaining remarks which need to be made: ch. Act 13:17; Luk 4:21.-ἀπὸ, from) From every text of Scripture, not merely from so remarkable a one as this was, it is possible to come to Jesus: and then there is a wide field of speaking thrown open to us.-τῆς γραφῆς, this Scripture) which indeed treats concerning the Minister or Servant of the Lord (for so Christ is called in Isaiah [Isa 42:1]). And often it is from the predicate alone that this subject is known (recognised): Mat 2:23, “He shall be called a Nazarene;” Act 8:17 [where His name as the subject is not given, but His attributes show that it is He who is spoken of].
