Verse 19. The churches of Asia. The word "Asia" in the New Testament usually denotes Asia Minor in general. See Barnes "Ac 2:9". It was sometimes used in a more limited sense, to denote the region around Ephesus, and of which Ephesus was the centre and capital. See Barnes "Ac 16:6". This is the region undoubtedly which is intended here. Salute you. Greet you; send respectful and affectionate Christian regards. See Barnes "Ro 16:3". Aquila and Priscilla. See Barnes "Ac 18:26". Much in the Lord. With affectionate Christian salutations; or as Christians. Wishing the blessing and favour of the Lord. With the church that is in their house. See Barnes "Ro 16:5". {k} "Aquila and Priscilla" Ro 16:5,15 |
