Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Reciprocal: Acts 18:1 - departed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Paul departed from among them. As it was high time, when they fell to deriding and scoffing at him; for hereby they judged themselves unworthy of the Gospel ministry: the Ethiopic version adds, "from Athens"; but it does not appear that the apostle went directly out of the city; we read afterwards of his departing from Athens, Acts 18:1 but the sense is, that he went out of the Areopagus, from that court of judicature; and from among the judges of it, and the philosophers of every sect, that stood around him in it; they having no more to say to him, nor he to them. And this shows, that he was not brought to be tried and judged, in order to be punished, but only to be heard concerning his doctrine; of which, when they had heard enough, he departed quietly, no one molesting him, unless with scoffs and jeers.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

So Paul departed - Seeing there was little hope of saving them. It was not his custom to labor long in a barren field, or to preach where there was no prospect of success.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 17:33. So Paul departed from among them. — He could not be convicted of having done any thing contrary to the law; and, when the assembly broke up, he was permitted to go about his own business.
