Acts 20:34

Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Read Chapter 20

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
These hands have furnished, by labouring to maintain myself (Witham)

John Chrysostom

AD 407
1 Corinthians 9; 2 Corinthians 11 So then, it was not in Corinth only that they did this — they that corrupted the disciples, but in Asia as well. But he nowhere casts this up as a reproach to the Ephesians, when writing to them. And why? Because he did not fall upon any subject that obliged him to speak of this. But to the Corinthians he says, My boasting has not been stopped in the regions of Achaia. 2 Corinthians 11:10 And he does not say, You did not give to me; but, Silver, or gold, or apparel, I coveted not, that it might not seem to be their doing, that they had not given. And he does not say, From no man have I coveted the necessaries of life, that again it might not look like accusing them: but he covertly hints as much, seeing that he provided subsistence for others as well as himself. See how he worked with earnestness, night and day discoursing (to others), with tears warning each one of them.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
