This eagerness reflects the spiritual hunger and anticipation among the Jewish and God-fearing Gentile audience. It also suggests that the message resonated with their understanding of the Scriptures and the hope of the Messiah.to continue this message The message referred to is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which Paul and Barnabas were proclaiming. This message included the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and the offer of salvation to all who believe. The request to continue indicates that the message was both compelling and challenging, prompting further exploration and discussion.on the next Sabbath The Sabbath, observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, was a day of rest and worship for the Jewish people. The request to hear more on the next Sabbath shows the structured nature of Jewish worship and the importance of the Sabbath as a time for teaching and learning. It also underscores the continuity between the Jewish faith and the emerging Christian faith, as the early church initially met on the Sabbath before transitioning to Sunday worship in honor of the resurrection of Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a> Formerly known as Saul, Paul is a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and epistles.

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.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 42. - And as they went out for when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, A.V. and T.R.; they for the Gentiles, A.V. and T.R.; spoken for preached, A.V. They besought. The R.T. is that of Chrysostom and the best manuscripts, and is adopted by Meyer, Olshausen, Lange, Afford, Bishop Wordsworth, the 'Speaker's Commentary,' etc. There is a difference of opinion as to who is meant by they. The simplest explanation is that they means Paul and Barnabas, who went out of the synagogue before the formal dismissal of the congregation; and, as they were going out, received an invitation to repeat their instruction on the next sabbath. <a href="/commentaries/acts/13-42.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[As] δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. [Paul and Barnabas] αὐτῶν (autōn) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Genitive Masculine 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_846.htm">Strong's 846: </a> He, she, it, they, them, same.
