• The Lord said to him, "Fear not, but speak and be not silent" (ver. 9). The structure of the phrase implies that he was anxious. He needed a spring of courage beyond what His fellow-laborers could supply; and the Lord gave accordingly. Natural boldness is a force wholly unsuited to spiritual warfare, where the rule is, "When I am weak, then am I strong." All to be safe and of God must be in dependence on the grace of Christ. (“On Acts 18:8-11” by W. Kelly)

• Instead of fearing more, he was to persevere in speaking and not to hold his peace, of which he was in danger, though he had not begun to yield to it (as the form implies). (“Acts 18:8-11” by W. Kelly)
