Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 19:23

"And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way." — Acts 19:23 (ASV)

No small stir. No little excitement, disturbance, or tumult, taracov. Compare Acts 17:4-5.

About that way. Respecting the doctrines of Christianity which Paul preached. See Barnes on Acts 9:2; Acts 18:26; Acts 19:9.

"Stir": disturbance. "About that": compare 2 Corinthians 1:8; 2 Corinthians 6:9. "Way": doctrine.
