Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass that while Apollos was at Corinth,.... Whither he came after the Apostle Paul, and where he watered what the apostle had planted, and where he became very famous and eminent; insomuch that he was set up, though not with his will, at the head of a party, in opposition to the chief of the apostles, Peter and Paul; see 1 Corinthians 1:12.

Paul having passed through the upper coasts; that is, of Phrygia, Galatia, Pontus, Bithynia, Lydia, Lycaonia, and Paphlagonia;

came to Ephesus; into Ionia, of which Ephesus was the chief city, and lay near the sea; wherefore the other countries are called the upper coasts; hither he came, according to his promise in Acts 28:21

And finding certain disciples; such as believed in Christ, made a profession of him, and had been baptized in his name, for such were commonly called disciples: these do not seem to be persons, who were either converted by Paul, when he was at Ephesus before, or by Apollos, who had been there since, and was gone; but rather some who came hither from other parts, since the apostle was at this place; though indeed his stay at Ephesus before was so short, that they might be here, and he not hear of them, or meet with them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

While Apollos was at Corinth - It is probable that he remained there a considerable time.

Paul, having passed through the upper coasts - The upper, or more elevated regions of Asia Minor. The writer refers here particularly to the provinces of Phrygia and Galatia, Acts 18:23. These regions were called upper, because they were situated on the high table-land in the interior of Asia Minor, while Ephesus was in the low maritime regions, and called the low country.

Came to Ephesus - Agreeably to his promise, Acts 18:21.

And finding certain disciples - Certain persons who had been baptized into John’s baptism, and who had embraced John’s doctrine that the Messiah was soon to appear, Acts . Acts 19:3-4. It is very clear that they had not yet heard that he had come, or that the Holy Spirit was given. They were evidently in the same situation as Apollos. See the notes on Acts 18:25.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIX.

Paul, coming to Ephesus, finds certain disciples who had not

received the gift of the Holy Ghost, knowing only the baptism

of John, but receive it through the imposition of his hands,

1-7.

He preaches for three months in the synagogues, 8.

Many being hardened, he leaves the synagogues, and teaches

daily in the school of Tyrannus for two years, 9, 10.

He works many miracles, 11, 12.

Account of the vagabond exorcist Jews, and the seven sons of

Sceva, 13-17.

Many are converted, and burn their magical books, 18-20.

Paul purposes to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to

Jerusalem, and afterwards to Rome; but, having sent Timotheus

and Erastus to Macedonia, continues a little longer in Asia,

21, 22.

Demetrius, a silversmith of Ephesus, raises an uproar against

Paul, which, after some tumultuous proceedings, is appeased by

the town clerk, 23-41.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIX.

Verse Acts 19:1. And it came to pass - while Apollos was at Corinth — The Codex Bezae begins this chapter differently. But then Paul was desirous, according to his own counsel, to go to Jerusalem, the Spirit commanded him to return into Asia: then, passing through the upper parts, he came to Ephesus. This addition is also found in the Latin or Itala part of the same MS., and in the margin of the later Syriac.

Paul having passed through the upper coasts — That is, through those parts of Asia Minor that lay eastward of Ephesus, such as Galatia, Phrygia, and probably Lycaonia and Lydia; and it is in reference to Ephesus that these are called the upper coasts. See their situation on the map.
