What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word or exhortation for the people, say on." Behold how they do this without grudging, but no longer after this. If ye did wish this (really), there was more need to exhort.
Theophylact of Ohrid
The Jews had the custom of reading on the Sabbath the Law of Moses and the Prophets, and after the reading, of addressing the people with a speech and explaining what had been read. Therefore the rulers of the synagogue invite those who were with Paul to speak in the synagogue.
