Acts 18:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 18:10

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.”

11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the¹ judgment seat,

13 saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

14 And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.

Acts 18:10

I have much people in this city—"whom in virtue of their election to eternal life He already designates as His" (compare Acts 13:48) [BAUMGARTEN].

Acts 18:9-11

Then spake the Lord to Paul . . . by a vision, Be not afraid . . . no man shall set on thee to hurt thee, etc.—From this it would seem that these signal successes were stirring up the wrath of the unbelieving Jews, and probably the apostle feared being driven by violence, as before, from this scene of such promising labor. He is reassured, however, from above.
