People's New Testament

11:26 Perils of waters. In crossing swollen rivers.

Perils of robbers. In his travels he was often exposed to danger from this source.

Perils by mine own countrymen. The Jews, who constantly persecuted him. See 2Co 11:24.

Perils by the heathen. The Gentiles. As an illustration, see 2Co 11:25.

Perils in the city. Damascus (Ac 9:22-24), Jerusalem (Ac 21:28-31), Antioch in Pisidia (Ac 13:44,45,50), Lystra (Ac 14:11-13), Philippi (Ac 16:18-24), and Corinth (Ac 18:12) will at once occur as instances.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

26. In-rather, "By": connected with 2Co 11:23, but now not with "in," as there, and as in 2Co 11:27, where again he passes to the idea of surrounding circumstances or environments [Alford, Ellicott and others].

waters-rather, as Greek, "rivers," namely, perils by the flooding of rivers, as on the road often traversed by Paul between Jerusalem and Antioch, crossed as it is by the torrents rushing down from Lebanon. So the traveller Sport lost his life.

robbers-perhaps in his journey from Perga to Antioch in Pisidia. Pisidia was notorious for robbers; as indeed were all the mountains that divided the high land of Asia from the sea.

the heathen-Gentiles.

in the city-Damascus, Ac 9:24, 25; Jerusalem, Ac 9:29; Ephesus, Ac 19:23.

false brethren-(Ga 2:4).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:22-33 The apostle gives an account of his labours and sufferings; not out of pride or vain-glory, but to the honour of God, who enabled him to do and suffer so much for the cause of Christ; and shows wherein he excelled the false apostles, who tried to lessen his character and usefulness. It astonishes us to reflect on this account of his dangers, hardships, and sufferings, and to observe his patience, perseverance, diligence, cheerfulness, and usefulness, in the midst of all these trials. See what little reason we have to love the pomp and plenty of this world, when this blessed apostle felt so much hardship in it. Our utmost diligence and services appear unworthy of notice when compared with his, and our difficulties and trials scarcely can be perceived. It may well lead us to inquire whether or not we really are followers of Christ. Here we may study patience, courage, and firm trust in God. Here we may learn to think less of ourselves; and we should ever strictly keep to truth, as in God's presence; and should refer all to his glory, as the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for evermore.
