Commentary

Commentary on Acts 8:25

Theological / Devotional

And they. This certainly indicates the apostles Peter and John. Some commentators think it includes Philip. However, see AA 107.

Testified. Greek diamarturomai, “to testify earnestly.”

Preached. Greek laled, “to speak,” “to say.”

Returned. The form of the verb in Greek here may be translated, “began to return.” They continued to preach the gospel as they made their way back to Jerusalem.

This closes the inspired record of Christianity in Samaria, except for a passing reference in ch. 15:3.
