This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





His spirit was stirred in him; moved, and sharpened, being highly affected with divers passions:



1. With grief, for so learned, and yet blind and miserable a place.



2. With zeal, and a holy desire to instruct and inform it.



3. With anger and indignation against the idolatry and sin that abounded in it.



Wholly given to idolatry; or, as the marginal reading hath, full of idols. For we read, that there were more idols in Athens than in all Greece besides; and that it was easier to find a god there (that is, an idol) than a man; their images being as numerous as their inhabitants.
