Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
13:50-51 Jewish opposition once again forced Paul and Barnabas . . . out of town. They shook the dust from their feet as a sign of rejection, as Jesus had taught his disciples (see Matt 10:14-15; Mark 6:11-12; Luke 9:5-6; 10:10-11). That place was then treated as pagan territory, and other people were given access to the message of new life in Christ.
