9Now we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And we also pray for this, your perfecting.

3we recognize this, most noble Felix, with full gratitude, always and everywhere.

1Now upon assuming the province, after three days Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

8"Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;

1Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself." So Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:

2And encountering a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome), he joined them;

4And they were all filled with Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages,These are human languages, spoken somewhere on earth, as the following context makes clear. as the Spirit was granting to them to speak out."Speak out" translates a different word than the "speak" in the middle of the verse; the idea is to proclaim or project the voice. Notice that the speaking was controlled by the Spirit. The Text is emphatic that they were all filled, but they did not all start spouting languages; the languages were directed to specific hearers, as the following context makes clear. As the crowd began to gather the Spirit presumably sent the disciples (probably the same 120, at least) out to mingle with the people, and the Spirit proclaimed ‘the great works of God’ to each one in his mother tongue, using the mouths of the disciples. But there would also need to be a miracle in the ear of each hearer, to filter his own language out from the welter of sound (many languages being proclaimed at the same time). I would imagine that this activity lasted at least 10 or 15 minutes.

1Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called ‘Passover’, drew near.

1So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, do stand fast in Sovereign in this way,"This way" presumably refers to imitating Paul. dear ones.

1Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship from the Spirit, if any tenderness and acts of compassion,

3He left Judea and went away into Galilee.This was a tactical withdrawal. I take it that Matthew 4:12 refers to the same withdrawal. Between John 3:36 and 4:1 the Baptizer was imprisoned. If the Pharisees knew something it would not be long before Herod knew it. It was not part of the Plan for Jesus to have to deal with Herod at this juncture.

1It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as not even pagans talk aboutIt was reported that a man had his father’s wife, a type of fornication such that not even the pagans talked about it. However, the eclectic Greek text currently in vogue (following 3.2% of the Greek manuscripts—this includes the earliest ones, that are of objectively inferior quality) affirms that this type of incest does not even exist among the pagans, a plain falsehood. Every conceivable type of sexual perversion has existed throughout human history. Strangely, such evangelical versions as NIV, NASB, LB and Berkley propagate this error.—that someone has his father’s wife!

1Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes.A very small handful (0.3%; 5 mss out of some 1,700) of objectively inferior Greek manuscripts have ‘Gerasenes’ instead of ‘Gadarenes’ (as in NIV, NASB, LB, TEV, etc.). Gadara being the Roman capital of the province of Perara, located some six miles from the Sea of Galilee, ‘the region of the Gadarenes’ is a perfectly reasonable description of the site, especially since Mark was writing for a Roman audience. For a more detailed discussion, please see the Appendix: The ‘Legion’ and the pigs; where was it?

4And Jesus says to him: "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a proof to them."A proof that the Messiah had arrived—who else could cure leprosy?

1After these things Jesus continued to move about in Galilee,All of chapter six took place in Galilee, so why make a point of Jesus' continuing there? 6:4 says that the Passover was near, but 7:2 says that the Feast of Tabernacles was near—that is six months later. As a God-fearing male, Jesus had to go to Jerusalem for the Passover, so He must have gone, although none of the Gospels records it. I take it that He went without calling attention to Himself, and returned immediately to Galilee, for the reason given in the second half of the verse. since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting to kill Him.Between 6:71 and 7:2 six months elapsed. For events that occurred during that period see Matthew 15:1-18:35, Mark 7:1-9:50 and Luke 9:18-50.

4Therefore whoever will humble himself like this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

2I went on the basis of a revelation and set before them [the main apostles] the Gospel that I proclaim among the nations/Gentiles.This event is described in more detail in Acts chapter 15, where verse 3 says they were "sent on their way by the church". Here Paul says he went "on the basis of a revelation"—I suppose he is referring mainly to the content of what he set before the apostles and elders. I gather that Paul and Barnabas had a closed session with James, Peter and John before going to the whole assembly.—Now I did this privately to those with influence, lest somehow I might run, or had run, in vain.

3Isn’t this the carpenter,They call Jesus ‘the carpenter’, so Joseph had died. the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us?"I placed all the statements within a single set of quotes, but they probably came from different people. Four brothers are named, and ‘sisters’ is plural, so there were at least two of them (Matthew 13:56 has "all his sisters", so there were probably more than two). After Jesus, Joseph and Mary had a full family. So they took offense at Him.

4how he was caught up into Paradise"Paradise" here evidently refers to Heaven. In Luke 23:43 it refers to the half of Hades (Sheol in the OT) that was reserved for the righteous dead. and heard inexpressible things, things that a man is not permitted to tell.

3taking pains to keep the unity of the Spirit"The unity of the Spirit" presumably refers only to things that come from the Holy Spirit; it cannot include anything with which He does not agree. Note that we are not to ‘create’ the unity, we are to "keep" it. in the bond of the peace.In verses 1-3 Paul is talking about how we relate to other believers.
