  1. Acts 15:36 – 18:22González, pgs. 181-210 By Michelle Leann Musgrove 5/30/07

  2. 1. Paul & Barnabas Part Acts 15:37-39 see Acts 13:13 Related References Gal 2:13 - Paul says the disagreement with Barnabas went far beyond the matter of taking Mark with them or not. Col 4:10 - John Mark is Barnabas' cousin A. The Calling (15:36 – 16:10)

  3. Timothy’s Circumcision 16:3 Contradicts Paul’s teaching? 1 Cor 7:18 Gal 5:2 Gal 2:3 It seems that Luke emphasizes Paul’s faithfulness to the law to color the narrative and refute charges raised in Acts 21:21 in advance Timothy in the NT Rom 16:211 Cor 16:10-112 Cor 1:1, 19 Phlm 1:11 Thess 1:11 Cor 4:17 1 and 2 Timothy is addressed to him:“my loyal child of the faith” and “beloved child” Timothy was a more important companion of Paul than Acts suggests 2. Timothy Joins the Mission

  4. 3. The Vision of a Macedonian (16:6-10) • Gal 4:13-14 Paul say it was an infirmity that forced him to go to Galatia • Acts 16:7 – Luke might be referring to an infirmity when saying that the Holy Spirit would not allow the missionaries to speak in either Asia or Bithynia.

  5. B. Paul & Silas in Philippi (16:11-40) 1. The Beginning of the Mission in Europe and Lydia Acts 16:11-15 • Paul avoids receiving money or material goods from his disciples or converts (Acts 20:33-35) • Lydia “prevailed upon us” to accept her hospitality • Paul would not forget this gesture • Paul refers to the Philippians' generosity later Read Phil 4:15-16

  6. B. Paul & Silas in Philippi (cont.) 2.Girl with a Spirit of Divination(16:16-24) • Acts frowns on making money by magical or supernatural means (Acts 8:18-24, 19:25) 3.Jailer in Philippi(16:25-34) • Earthquake: Cf. Matthew 27:51b-54 • Also a supernatural event in Acts 4:31 when spirit descends on them

  7. B. Paul & Silas in Philippi (cont.) 4. Missionaries are Absolved and Expelled (16:35-40) • With dramatic flair the reader suddenly learns that both Paul and Silas are Roman citizens protected by law against scourging • Acts 22:25-29 same situation • contrast 2 Cor 11:23-25 where he lists how he has been persecuted • Paul’s account 1 Thess 2:2 - “but though we had already suffered and been shamefully mistreated at Philippi” • Phil 1:3-5 sound more optimistic

  8. C. Thessalonica (17:1-9) • Acts 17:5 compare with Acts 13:45 - such jealousy seems to refer to the great number of converts overwhelming the Jewish population in the synagogue: “But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy; and blaspheming, they contradicted what was spoken by Paul.” Compare 1 Thess 2:1-2

  9. D. Athens (17:15-34) Waiting in Athens (vv. 15-16) • 1 Thess 3:1-2 Appealing to the Athenians (vv. 24-31) • Paul describes the work of God, partly based on Isaiah 42:5 • God as creator is an idea common to Jews and Greeks, see Acts 14:15 Dionysius the Areopagite and Damaris (vv. 32-34) • juxtaposing genders: • Luke 15:3-10 lost coin • Acts 5:1-11 Ananias and Sapphira.
