Wesley's Notes for Acts 28:8


28:6 They changed their minds, and said he was a god - Such is the stability of human reason! A little before he was a murderer; and presently he is a god: (just as the people of Lystra; one hour sacrificing, and the next stoning:) nay, but there is a medium. He is neither a murderer nor a god, but a man of God. But natural men never run into greater mistakes, than in judging of the children of God.

28:7 The chief man of the island - In wealth if not in power also. Three days - The first three days of our stay on the island.
