Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 13:16

16 Then Paul stood up , and beckning with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

To procure silence and attention, as Chap. 12.17.

Besides the Native Iews, the Proselytes, and such out of all Nations who left the Idolatry of the Gentiles, and vow'd the only True God, met together in the worship of God; these were the [non-Latin text not transcribed] spoken of, Chap. 17.4. It shews also what they are to do that would hear the Word of the Lord with profit; viz. to attend unto it in the fear of his Name.
