Barnes' Notes
Persecutions - On the meaning of this word, see the notes at Matthew 5:10.
Afflictions - Trials of other kinds than those which arose from persecutions. The apostle met them everywhere; compare the notes at Acts 20:23.
Which came unto me at Antioch - The Antioch here referred to is not the place of that name in Syria (see the notes at Acts 11:19); but a city of the same name in Pisidia, in Asia Minor; notes, Acts 13:14. Paul there suffered persecution from the Jews; Acts 13:45.
At Iconium; - notes, Acts 13:50. On the persecution there, see the notes at Acts 14:3-6.
At Lystra; - Acts 14:6. At this place, Paul was stoned; notes, Acts 14:19. Timothy was a native of either Derbe or Lystra, cities near to each other, and was doubtless there at the time of this occurrence; Acts 16:1.
But out of them all the Lord delivered me - See the history in the places referred to in the Acts .
