Acts 13:42 in Multiple Translations

As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.

And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.

As they were leaving, the people pleaded with them to tell them more the next Sabbath.

And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.

And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon [them] that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.

After Paul finished speaking, while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, many of the people there repeatedly requested that on the next ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest► the two of them should speak to them again about those things that Paul had just told them.

Then the meeting finished, and Paul and Barnabas started to go out of that meeting house. Some of the people said to them, “Can you come back next Saturday and tell us more about those things?” And a lot of Jews and other people that respected God followed Paul and Barnabas. Paul and Barnabas talked with them and told them to keep on trusting God, and to keep on letting him help them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 13:42

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Acts 13:42

When the Jews were gone out of the synagogue; or, as some read, the apostles, Paul and Barnabas, were gone out of the synagogue of the Jews. The Gentiles; proselytes, or such devout persons formerly spoken of, who had relinquished paganism, and came to be instructed in the knowledge of the true God by the Jews. The next sabbath; or in some day betwixt the sabbaths: the apostles took all advantages, if there were a festival, which was also called a sabbath, , and in , frequently; they would preach in season and out of season: howsoever, because we find the apostles did meet again with them on that day seven-night after, it is most probable that their desire was so to be understood. See .

Trapp's Commentary on Acts 13:42

42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Ver. 42. The Gentiles besought] Where a powerful ministry is settled, there some souls are to be converted. A master that sets up a light hath some work to be done thereby. Be preached to them the next sabbath] Or in the interim between the two sabbaths. A warrant for week day lectures, Intra proxime sequens sabbatum, interiectum tempus significatur, saith Beza.

Ellicott's Commentary on Acts 13:42

(42) And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue.—The better MSS. give simply, as they were going out, the Received text being apparently an explanatory interpretation. The reading, “the Gentiles besought,” is an addition of the same character, the better MSS. giving simply, they besought, or were beseeching. What follows shows, indeed, that some at least of the Jews were led to inquire further. The participle implies that they stopped as they passed out, to request the Apostle to resume his teaching on the following Sabbath. This, and not the marginal reading “in the week between,” is the true meaning of the words, though they admit, literally, of the other rendering.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Acts 13:42

Verse 42. When the Jews were gone out] That part of them in whom the words of the prophet were fulfilled, viz. those who, though they had the clearest relation of so interesting a history, would not believe it: they shut their eyes against the light, and hardened their hearts against the truth. There were other Jews in the assembly that did believe, and were saved. The Gentiles besought] There is some doubt whether the original, παρεκαλουνταεθνη, should be translated the Gentiles besought; or they besought the Gentiles: for the words will bear either, but the latter sense more naturally. When the Jews retired, determining not to credit what was spoken, the apostle, seeing the Gentiles of a better mind, requested them to come and hear those words, or doctrines, the next Sabbath. But, the next, τομεταξυ, as Hiesychius defines it, μετολιγοναναμεσον, shortly, or betwixt, may mean the after part of the same Sabbath, or the course of the ensuing week, between the two Sabbaths; for Mondays and Thursdays, or the second and fifth days of the week, were times in which those who feared God usually met together in the synagogue; for it is a maxim with the rabbins, that no three days should elapse without reading of the law. On this verse there is a great number of various readings: instead of, when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, ABCDE, several others of great repute, with all the Syriac, the Coptic, AEthiopic, Armenian, Vulgate, and Itala, read, As they were going out, they entreated that these words should be preached unto them in the course of the week, or the next Sabbath. So that, according to this well accredited reading, the words, εκτηςσυναγωγηςτωνιουδαιων, are left out in the first clause, αυτων being put in their place; and ταεθνη, the Gentiles, is wholly omitted in the second clause. The most eminent critics approve of this reading; indeed it stands on such authority as to render it almost indubitable. Of the αυτων, them, which is substituted for the first clause, Professor White says, lectio indubie genuina: this reading is undoubtedly genuine; and of the ταεθνηεις, he says, certissime delenda: they should certainly be expunged. We are therefore to understand the words thus: that, "as they were going out on the breaking up of the assembly, some of them desired that they might have these doctrines preached to them on the ensuing week or Sabbath." And thus all the ambiguity of the verse vanishes.

Cambridge Bible on Acts 13:42

42–52. Further preaching both to Jews and Gentiles. Jealousy of the Jews, and expulsion of the Apostles from Antioch42. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought, &c.] The oldest MSS. give, “And as they were going out of the synagogue they besought, &c.” The desire was expressed by the congregation both of Jews and proselytes as they left the synagogue. We do not read of the Gentiles joining the throng of listeners until the next Sabbath (Acts 13:44).that these words (tidings)] The whole declaration of the Christian faith. It is not the ordinary Greek term for “word.” Cp. Acts 10:37.the next sabbath] The Greek words differ from those below in Acts 13:44, and have been rendered by some “during the intervening week.” As is pointed out in the Excursus on Acts 13:15, the Jewish congregations had a portion of the Law read in the synagogues not only on the Sabbath, but on the Monday and on the Thursday mornings, that they might not be for three days without hearing the Scripture. The peculiar expression in this verse may apply to the meetings in the synagogue on those days, and that then the people desired to hear once more the message which St Paul had just preached to them. As a different expression is used so immediately, for “on the next Sabbath,” it is but just to suppose that the historian had some reason for the variation of his language in the two verses.
