Acts 13:15 - Additional Comments

In the synagogues, the service always had the same order - first, the "you shall love God..." passage was recited, then a prayer, then a Scripture reading, then a message, then a prayer. Those in the synagogue often invited visitors to give the message, as they did to Paul here. Generally, the protocol was for Jews to teach sitting, but others would teach standing. Paul may have stood (verse 16) as a statement of his Roman birth.
