People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 28:30
Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house. His expense was
met during this period by the church in Rome and elsewhere. See
Philippians 4:18, where the Philippian contributions are acknowledged. Here
he was permitted to see and preach freely to all who came unto him. Here he
wrote four of his epistles; the letters to the Ephesians, Colossians,
Philippians, and the short letter to Philemon. Here, from notices in
these epistles, we know that Luke (Colossians 4:14), Timothy (Philemon 1:1),
Epaphroditus (Philippians 2:25 4:18,23), Mark (Acts 1:24), Aristarchus
(Colossians 4:10 Phm 1:24), Demas (Colossians 4:14 Phm 1:24), and Tychius
(Colossians 4:7) were with him at least part of the time. Nor is there
doubt but these two years produced great results in Rome. It was at a
later period, when Nero fell under the influence of the cruel
Tigellinus, that he became a persecutor, and Paul had at this time full
liberty. A few years after, at the time of the Neronian persecutor, the
church embraced vast numbers in the city of Rome. The Roman historian,
Tacitus says: "An immense multitude" were converted and put to death.
