Acts 18:6 - John Wesley's Notes

Acts 18:6

4 ^aAnd he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

5 ^aWhen Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was ^bcompelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

6 But ^awhen they opposed him and blasphemed, ^bhe shook his garments and said to them, ^c“Your blood be upon your own heads; ^dI am clean. ^eFrom now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named¹ Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

8 ^aThen Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

9 Now ^athe Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

10 ^afor I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”

Acts 18:6

He shook his raiment - To signify he would from that time refrain from them: and to intimate, that God would soon shake them off as unworthy to be numbered among his people. I am pure - None can say this but he that has borne a full testimony against sin. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles - But not to them altogether. He did not break off all intercourse with the Jews even at Corinth. Only he preached no more in their synagogue.
