Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Acts 19:30

Παύλου δὲ βουλομένου εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν δῆμον, and when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people. Through a strength not his own, the Apostle, feeble in frame though he seems to have been, waxed bold in danger where an opportunity appeared to be offered of testifying unto Christ.

οὐκ εἴων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταί, the disciples suffered him not. These were the brethren forming the Christian congregation, to some of whom the storm that was rising would be known much sooner than to the Apostle. They had evidently conveyed him from his usual abode, and were taking care of him until the excitement was allayed. They would tell him, of course, all that they heard of what was doing, and it was on hearing this, that he wanted to go and appear before the crowd in the theatre.
