SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:24
Y pasando por Pisidia vinieron a Panfilia.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 14:24
Verse 24. Passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.] See the note on chap. xiii. 13.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And after they had passed throughout Pisidia , etc.] The country where Antioch, the last place mentioned, was; (see Acts 13:14) they came to Pamphylia; (See Gill on “ Acts 13:13”) (See Gill on “ Acts 2:10”) Ver. 25. And when they had preached the word in Perga , etc.] A city in Pamphylia, ( Acts 13:13). The Alexandrian copy, and others, and three manuscripts of Beza’s, read, “the word of the Lord”; as do the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions: they went down into “Attalia”; not Italia or Italy, as some Latin copies, and as the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read; but a city in Pamphylia, bordering on the sea, as Ptolomy writes f723 ; as this place did, as appears by what follows. So Jerom says f724 , that Attalia is a city of Pamphylia, on the sea coast; it was formerly the metropolis of it: it is now in the hands of the Turks, and is called Sattalia; near it is a bay, called Golfo di Sattalia, where there is a considerable mart for the whole country: it is famous for tapestry, which is made in it: it had its name from Attalus, king of Pergamus, the first founder of it. Beza’s ancient copy here adds, “preaching the Gospel to them”; to the inhabitants of Attalia, and doubtless with success, though no mention is made of it here, nor elsewhere, nor of any church in this place; nor do we read of any in ecclesiastical history until the “sixth” century, when Dionysius, bishop of Attalia, is said to be present in the fifth synod at Rome f725 ; unless Attalia, called a city of Lycia, can be thought to be the same with this, of which another Dionysius was bishop in the fifth century; and assisted at the council of Chalcedon f726 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-28 - See how restless the rage of the Jews was against the gospel of Christ The people stoned Paul, in a popular tumult. So strong is the bent of the corrupt and carnal heart, that as it is with great difficulty tha men are kept back from evil on one side, so it is with great ease the are persuaded to evil on the other side. If Paul would have bee Mercury, he might have been worshipped; but if he will be a faithfu minister of Christ, he shall be stoned, and thrown out of the city Thus men who easily submit to strong delusions, hate to receive the truth in the love of it. All who are converted need to be confirmed in the faith; all who are planted need to be rooted. Ministers' work is to establish saints as well as to awaken sinners. The grace of God, an nothing less, effectually establishes the souls of the disciples. It is true, we must count upon much tribulation, but it is encouragement tha we shall not be lost and perish in it. The Person to whose power an grace the converts and the newly-established churches are commended clearly was the Lord Jesus, "on whom they had believed." It was an ac of worship. The praise of all the little good we do at any time, mus be ascribed to God; for it is He who not only worketh in us both to will and to do, but also worketh with us to make what we do successful All who love the Lord Jesus, will rejoice to hear that he has opene the door of faith wide, to those who were strangers to him and to his salvation. And let us, like the apostles, abide with those who know an love the Lord __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:24 {When they had spoken the word in Perga} (lalesantes en pergei ton logon). Now they stopped and preached in Perga which they had apparently not done before (see #13:13f.). After leaving Antioch they passed on through Pisidia, as if Antioch was not strictly in Pisidia (see on #13:14) and into Pamphylia. They crossed from Perga to Attaleia, the port of Perga, sixteen miles down the Cestus, and capital of Pamphylia, to find a ship for Antioch in Syria. It is now called Adala and for long was the chief harbor of the south coast of Asia Minor. We do not know why they did not revisit Cyprus, perhaps because no permanent Gentile churches were founded there.
