Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there he found a certain man,.... In a house in that city, into which he entered:

named Aeneas; which is a Gentile name, and so might the person be; though there is mention made of this name among the Jews. We read of one R. Samuel Bar, אנייא "Aenea, or Aeneas" l; but it was more common among the Greeks. Aeneas the Trojan is well known in history, who, after the destruction of Troy, went into Italy, and settled there; and from him the Trojans are sometimes called Aeneadae. The name comes from the Greek word αινω, "ainoo", which signifies "to praise"; and Aeneas is one "worthy of praise": though Jerom m takes it to be an Hebrew name, which he interprets "one that answers", or a "poor man", or "misery"; as if it came from the Hebrew word ענה, "anah", which signifies "to answer, or to afflict".

Which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy; so that the distemper was grown stubborn, and thought incurable; nor perhaps had he, or his friends, any hope of his ever being restored to health again.

l T. Hieros. Yebamot, fol. 6. 2. & Midrash Kohelet, fol. 73. 3. m De Nominibus Hebraicis, fol. 105. H.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Eneas - This is a Greek name; and probably he was a Hellenist. See the notes on Acts 6:1.

Sick of the palsy - See the notes on Matthew 4:24.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 33. A certain man named Eneas — This name has been celebrated in the annals of heathen poetry, in that beautiful work of the poet Virgil, called the AEneid; which gives an account of the misfortunes, travels, wars, c., of a Trojan prince of this name, after the destruction of his native city, Troy. On the difference of names which so frequently occurs in some pasts of the Scriptures, Calmet makes the following judicious remarks: As both Greek and Hebrew, or Syriac, were commonly spoken in Palestine, most persons had two names, one Greek and the other Hebrew. Thus Peter was called Cephas in Hebrew, and Petros in Greek. Paul was called Saul in Hebrew, and Paulos in Greek. The person in Acts 9:36, Tabitha in Hebrew, and Dorcas in Greek. And the paralytic person cured by Peter, Hananiah in Hebrew, and Aineas in Greek. So Thomas was the Hebrew name of the apostle who in Greek was called Didymus.

Had kept his bed eight years — This was occasioned by a palsy and now inveterate and hopeless, through its long standing.
