Barnes' Notes
Verse 10. This continued. This public instruction.

By the space, etc. For two whole years.

So that all. That is, the great mass of the people.

That dwelt in Asia. In that province of Asia Minor of which Ephesus was the principal city. The name Asia was used sometimes to denote that single province. Acts 2:9. Ephesus was the capital; and there was, of course, a constant and large influx of people there for the purposes of commerce and worship.

Heard the word of the Lord Jesus. Heard the doctrine respecting the Lord Jesus.

(e) "space" Acts 20:31 (f) "Asia" Acts 20:18 (++) "Greeks" "Gentiles"

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 10 By the space of two years - The schoolhouse of Tyrannus was his regular chapel; and it is likely that in it he taught Christianity, as Tyrannus taught languages or sciences. All they - in Asia heard the word - Meaning, probably, the Proconsular Asia, for the extent of which see the note on Act 16:6. Jews and Greeks - For, although he ceased preaching in the synagogues of the Jews, yet they continued to hear him in the school of Tyrannus. But it is likely that Paul did not confine himself to this place, but went about through the different towns and villages; without which, how could all Asia have heard the word? By Greeks, we are to understand, not only the proselytes of the gate, but the heathens in general.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Acts 19:8-12

When arguments and persuasions only harden men in unbelief and blasphemy, we must separate ourselves and others from such unholy company. God was pleased to confirm the teaching of these holy men of old, that if their hearers believed them not, they might believe the works.
