Charles Spurgeon Commentary Acts 13:42

"And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath." — Acts 13:42 (ASV)

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath (Acts 13:42).

They would like to hear the same message, so they said to Paul, "This sermon was to the Jews. Will you not preach to us Gentiles? We have come in here and heard what you have said, but you did not speak specially to Jesus. Will you do so next Sabbath?"

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath (Acts 13:42).

They are earnest hearers who want to hear the same sermon again. But perhaps they did not expect to hear the same words, but to delve into the same sense and have it explained more fully, so they might better grasp it. Oh! What a mercy it is, when the congregation is going away, if there are some who stop behind, anxious to learn something more!
