Wesley's Notes for Acts 18:17
18:17 Then they all took Sosthenes - The successor of Crispus, and probably Paul's chief accuser, and beat him - It seems because he had occasioned them so much trouble to no purpose, before the judgment seat - One can hardly think in the sight of Gallio, though at no great distance from him. And it seems to have had a happy effect. For Sosthenes himself was afterward a Christian, #1Cor 1:1|.
People's Bible Notes for Acts 18:17
Ac 18:17 The Greeks took Sosthenes. He had evidently succeeded Crispus as chief ruler of the synagogue (Ac 18:8), and was probably foremost among the accusers. The populace laid violent hands on him. Gallio cared for none of those things. The great Romans were usually utterly indifferent to religion at this period. Nor did Gallio care to see some violence inflicted on the leading Jews.
