Definitions for Acts 10:45
Clarke's Acts 10:45 Bible Commentary
They of the circumcision - were astonished - Because it was a maxim with them that the Shechinah or Divine influence could not be revealed to any person who dwelt beyond the precincts of the promised land. Nor did any of them believe that the Divine Spirit could be communicated to any Gentile. It is no wonder, therefore, that they were amazed when they saw the Spirit of God so liberally given as it was on this occasion.
Barnes's Acts 10:45 Bible Commentary
And they of the circumcision - Who had been Jews.
Were astonished - Were amazed that Gentiles should be admitted to the same favor as themselves.
Wesley's Acts 10:45 Bible Commentary
