Commentary on Acts 28:7
Theological / DevotionalIn the same quarters. That is, in that vicinity.
Possessions. That is, land.
Chief man. Gr. protos, or “first,” that is, primate. This title is attested in inscriptions as designating the Roman ruler of the island, though the title itself appears to be non-Roman in origin.
Publius. A thoroughly Roman name.
Received us. Probably the primate received the centurion, out of consideration for his rank, and with him Paul.
Lodged us three days. The hospitality of the primate continued until more permanent arrangements could be made.
