Acts 20:29-31
Grievous wolves. The figure of the flock is still kept up. The
"grievous wolves" were false teachers, and the special reference is to
the Judaizing teachers, who taught that the Gentile Christians must
keep the Jewish law. Paul's ministry was a long battle with the
schismatics. See 1 Timothy 1:3 2Ti 1:15 2:17. See also
3 John 1:9. By turning to these references the names of some six
of these "grievous wolves" will be found. Also in Revelation we learn
that there were false teachers at Ephesus (Revelation 2:6).
