Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Added to the Lord; as in Acts 11:24, not as in margin. Multitudes; πλήθη, found in the plural nowhere else in the New Testament.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) Added to the Lord.--Here, probably, the word is used in its definite New Testament sense for the Lord Jesus.Both of men and women.--The mention of the latter forms an introduction to the dissensions connected with the "widows" in Acts 6, and is itself characteristic of St. Luke as a writer who had seen and known the effect of the new Religion in raising women to a higher life, and whose knowledge of its history was in great measure derived from them. (See Introduction to St. Luke's Gospel.) So in Acts 8:3 women are named as prominent among the sufferers in the first general persecution.
