ACC ~ Acts 16 v7

THE APOSTLES FOLLOWED HUMAN CUSTOMS. CHRYSOSTOM: The text does not say why they were prevented but only that they were prevented. It teaches us that we only have to obey and not to enquire about the reasons, and it shows us that they did many things according to human customs. CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 16.7.

UNQUESTIONING OBEDIENCE. AMMONIUS: It should be noted that the apostle did nothing according to his own will. Rather, whatever he did or did not do, it was under the impulse of the Spirit. Therefore it is dangerous to despise what was done by Paul or investigate what was directed by the Spirit. Consequently, we ought not to ask why the Spirit did not allow Paul to preach in Asia. CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 16.8.
