Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

scarce: Genesis 11:6, Genesis 19:9, Exodus 32:21-23, Jeremiah 44:16, Jeremiah 44:17, John 6:15

Reciprocal: Matthew 27:20 - persuaded

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And with these sayings,.... Concerning themselves, and concerning the living God, his creation of all things, and his providential goodness:

scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them; so resolute were they upon it, that it was with great difficulty that they persuaded them from it: in four of Beza's manuscripts, and in some other copies, it is added, "but everyone went to his own house", &c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And with these sayings - With these arguments.

Scarce restrained they the people - They were so fully satisfied that the gods had appeared, and were so full of zeal to do them honor.
