Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Paul, as his manner was . . .--What we read of as occurring in the Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13:14-15), was, we may believe, now reproduced. That he was allowed to preach for three Sabbaths in succession, shows the respect commanded by his character as a Rabbi, and, it may be, by his earnest eloquence. Though he came with the marks of the scourge upon him, he was as fearless as ever, speaking the gospel of God "with much contention," "not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance" (1Thessalonians 1:5). And with this boldness there was also a winning gentleness, "even as a nurse cherisheth her children" (1Thessalonians 2:7). And not a few Gentiles "turned from idols to serve the living and true God" (1Thessalonians 1:9).
