People's New Testament

16:17 These men are the servants of the most high God. For similar testimony of the evil spirits to the work and power of Christ, see Mr 3:12 Lu 4:34. The Lord silenced them, and Paul followed the example. He delayed for many days, for reasons we cannot explain, possibly on account of something connected with the afflicted damsel herself.

Wesley's Notes

16:17 These men are - A great truth: but St. Paul did not need, nor would accept, of such testimony.

Scofield Reference Notes

Margin most high God

See Scofield Note: "Mt 7:22". This marks the "spirit", Acts 16:18, as being a demon.

Margin salvation

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17. These men are servants of the most high God, &c.-Glorious testimony! But see on [2034]Lu 4:41.

this did she many days-that is, on many successive occasions when on their way to their usual place of meeting, or when engaged in religious services.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:16-24 Satan, though the father of lies, will declare the most important truths, when he can thereby serve his purposes. But much mischief is done to the real servants of Christ, by unholy and false preachers of the gospel, who are confounded with them by careless observers. Those who do good by drawing men from sin, may expect to be reviled as troublers of the city. While they teach men to fear God, to believe in Christ, to forsake sin, and to live godly lives, they will be accused of teaching bad customs.


Mark 5:7 and shouting with a loud voice, he said, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!" (NASB ©1995)
