Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - And anon; and straightway (Revised Version, καὶ εὐθύς).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) Anon with joy receiveth it.--The second type of character stands in marked contrast with the first. Rapid change, strong emotion, a quicker show of conversion than in the case where it is more real.--such results, it need hardly be said, come under the notice of every earnest preacher. In proportion to the tendency of any system--such as the revivalist meetings of one school, the mission services of another--to cause excitement, are those results likely to be frequent.
