Contextual Overview

¹² When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a general insurrection against Paul, and carry'd him to his tribunal. ¹³ this fellow, said they, would persuade us to set up a way of worship inconsistent with our law. ¹⁴ and when Paul was going to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "if it were a matter of some injustice or something immoral, O Jews, it would be reasonable to hear you out. ¹⁵ but since it is about disputable matters, about names, and your own law, you may decide that among yourselves: for I won't take cognizance of such affairs." ¹⁶ upon which he order'd them to withdraw. ¹⁷ but the Greeks in a body fell upon Sosthenes the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal: whilst Gallio was unconcern'd about the matter.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he drave them from the judgment seat. He would not hear, and try the cause; but dismissed them with threatening them, if ever they brought an affair of that kind to him any more.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And he drave them ... - He refused to hear and decide the controversy. The word used here does not denote that there was any violence used by Gallio, but merely that he dismissed them in an authoritative manner.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 18:16. And he drave them from the judgment seat. — He saw that their accusation was both frivolous and vexatious, and he ordered them to depart, and the assembly to disperse. The word απηλασεν, which we translate he drave, does not signify here any act of violence on the part of Gallio or the Roman officers, but simply an authoritative dismission.
