Robertson: Act 13:52 - And the disciples

And the disciples ( hoi te or hoi de mathētai ).

The Gentile Christians in Antioch in Pisidia. Persecution had precisely the opposite effect to the intention of the Jews for they "were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit"(eplērounto charas kai pneumatos hagiou ). Imperfect passive, they kept on being filled. It had been so before (Act 4:31; Act 8:4; Act 9:31; Act 12:24). The blood of the martyrs is still the seed of the church.

JFB: Act 13:49-52 - And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region

Implying some stay in Antioch and missionary activity in its vicinity.

JFB: Act 13:52 - the disciples

Who, though not themselves expelled, had to endure sufferings for the Gospel, as we learn from Act 14:22.

JFB: Act 13:52 - were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost

Who not only raised them above shame and fear, as professed disciples of the Lord Jesus, but filled them with holy and elevated emotions.

Clarke: Act 13:52 - The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost

The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost - Though in the world they had tribulation, yet in Christ they had peace; and, while engaged in their Master’ s work, they always had their Master’ s wages. The happiness of a genuine Christian lies far beyond the reach of earthly disturbances, and is not affected by the changes and chances to which mortal things are exposed. The martyrs were more happy in the flames than their persecutors could be on their beds of down

St. Paul’ s sermon at Antioch has been thus analyzed

1.    His prologue, Act 13:16, addressed to those who fear God

2.    His narrative of God’ s goodness to Israel

1.    In their deliverance from Egypt

2.    In their support in the wilderness

3.    In his giving them the land of Canaan

4.    In the judges and kings which he had given for their governors, Acts 13:7-22

3.    His proposition, that Jesus was the Christ, the Savior of the world, Act 13:23

4.    The illustration of this proposition, proving its truth

1.    From Christ’ s stock and family, Act 13:23

2.    From the testimony of his forerunner, Act 13:24

3.    From the resurrection of Christ, Act 13:30; which was corroborated with the testimony of many Galileans, Act 13:31, and of the prophets, David, Act 13:33, Act 13:35, and Isaiah, Act 13:34

5.    He anticipates objections, relative to the unjust condemnation, death and burial of Christ, Act 13:27-29

6.    His epilogue, in which he excites his audience to embrace the Gospel on two considerations

1.    The benefits which they receive who embrace the Gospel, Act 13:38, Act 13:39

2.    The danger to which they were exposed who should despise and reject it, Act 13:40, Act 13:41.

Calvin: Act 13:52 - The disciples were filled with joy

52.The disciples were filled with joy This member may be expounded two manner of ways; That they were filled with joy and the Spirit, by hypallage, thus, With joy of the Spirit, or (which is all one) with spiritual joy; because there is no quietness, peace, or joy of conscience, but it cometh of the Spirit of God, in which respect Paul saith that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Spirit, (Rom 14:17;) or that the word Spirit may contain under it other virtues and gifts. Yet this pleaseth me better, that they were filled with joy; because the grace of the Holy Spirit reigned in them, which alone doth so make us glad, truly and perfectly, that we are carried up above the whole world. For we must mark Luke’s drift, that the faithful were so far from being troubled and shaken with those stumbling-blocks, how great soever they were, with the reproach of their teachers, with the disquieting of the city, with terrors and threatenings, also with fear and dangers hanging over their heads, that they did with the loftiness of their faith despise valiantly the gorgeousness, as well of their reigned holiness as of their power. And assuredly, if our faith shall be well grounded in God, and shall be thoroughly rooted in his word; and, finally, if’ it shall be well fortified with the aid of the Spirit as it, ought, it; shall nourish peace and joy spiritual in our minds, though all the world be in an uproar.

Defender: Act 13:52 - filled

There is no indication that these new Gentile believers spoke in other languages when they were filled with the Holy Spirit. This phenomenon uniquely occurred at the first coming of the Holy Spirit to the Jews and at His first coming to Gentiles (Act 2:4; Act 10:44-46), but none of the many other references to the filling of the Spirit mention it. The filling of the Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit (including the gift of tongues) are all different things. Under certain special conditions, they have occasionally occurred simultaneously, but this is not the norm."

Poole: Act 13:52 - The disciples // were filled with joy

The disciples either Paul and Barnabas in a more especial manner, or, also such as at Perga had believed the gospel, and came with them to Antioch,

were filled with joy so as no place was left for meaner contentments:

1. By reason of the pardon of their sins.

2. The promise made to them of everlasting life.

3. The gifts of the Holy Ghost which they had, at that time, as an earnest and pledge to assure the other unto them.

Gill: Act 13:52 - And the disciples were filled with joy // and with the Holy Ghost

And the disciples were filled with joy,.... Meaning either the "apostles", as the Ethiopic version renders it, Paul and Barnabas; who rejoiced, both at the success they had met with, and because they were counted worthy to suffer reproach and persecution for the sake of Christ and his Gospel: or rather the disciples at Antioch, and other parts of Pisidia, the new converts; who were filled with joy at the Gospel being preached unto them, and at the constancy and courage of the apostles in suffering for it:

and with the Holy Ghost; which, with the former, designs the same thing as spiritual joy, or joy in the Holy Ghost; or else the gifts and graces of the Spirit, which they had both for their own comfort, and the advantage of others.
