Notes

Acts 13:17–22

To establish common ground with his audience, Paul traced Jewish history starting from the Israelite exodus from Egypt. He emphasized:

the Israelites' escape from Egyptian slavery,
their settlement in Canaan,
the establishment of the kingdom of Israel,
the removal of King Saul, and
the special role of King David.

Acts 13:16–41

Paul accepted the invitation, and signaled for his audience to be quiet (compare 19:33; 21:40). He began to clearly proclaim the good news about Jesus. This is Paul's first major speech in the book of Acts. It serves as a model of the way he preached to a Jewish audience (see 22:1–21).
