使徒行传 1:6 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 1:6-8

Craving for forbidden knowledge—its alterative, enlarged, practical trust. "They asked of him saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time … the earth?" The question of the apostles of which St. Luke here tells us we do not find either in his Gospel or in that of any of the other evangelists, one among many indications of the probability that during "the forty days" much may have transpired between Christ and his apostles not left on record. It may nevertheless be noted, in passing, that the... read more

The Ascension. Heaven and earth visibly united. Chief points— I. THE CONTRAST between the earthly, as represented in the disciples, with their Jewish prejudice and thought of "times and seasons," and the heavenly, in the Lord Jesus himself. II. THE PROSPECT . Separation for a season. Cloud concealing the glory. Promise of return. III. THE FELLOWSHIP of the disciples with the Master. The mingling together of heaven and earth. The witnesses appointed, that to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 1:6

When they therefore were come together - At the Mount of Olives. See Acts 1:9, Acts 1:12.Wilt thou at this time ... - The apostles had entertained the common opinions of the Jews about the temporal dominion of the Messiah. They expected that he would reign as a prince and conqueror, and would free them from the bondage of the Romans. Many instances where this expectation is referred to occur in the gospels, notwithstanding all the efforts which the Lord Jesus made to explain to them the true... read more

Acts 1:6-8. When they, therefore, were come together That is, after he had led them out of the town to the mount of Olives, and was come to that part of the mountain which was above Bethany, (see Luke 24:50,) being full of expectation, that he had brought them thither with a view to some remarkable transaction; they asked him, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? Wilt thou now break the Roman yoke from off our necks, and immediately erect the kingdom of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 1:1-11

1:1-2:47 BIRTH OF THE CHURCHThe task ahead (1:1-11)Theophilus, to whom the book is addressed, was apparently a person of influence to whom Luke wished to give a reliable account of the origins and development of Christianity. In his Gospel, Luke had told Theophilus of what Jesus began to do through his life, death and resurrection (1:1-2; cf. Luke 1:1-4). Luke now goes on to tell Theophilus what Jesus continued to do through his followers.On the occasions when Jesus appeared to his apostles... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 1:6

They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?THE ASCENSION (Acts 1:6-11)Error always dies hard, especially that type of error which is deeply ingrained and fortified by human lusts and desires. An earthly kingdom was never, in the long history of Israel, or at any other time, contained in the purpose of God for Israel. Even the kingdom of Saul, David, and Solomon, which God permitted but never approved, was from its... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 1:6-8

Acts 1:6-8. Lord, wilt thou at this time, &c.— The disciples seem to have expected, that, when the Spirit was in so extraordinary a manner poured out, and the world, according to Christ's prediction (John 16:8.) convinced of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, the whole nation of the Jews would own him for the Messiah, and so not only throw off its subjection to the Romans, but itself rise tovery extensive and perhaps universal dominion. The word αποκαθιστανεις, rendered wilt thou... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 1:6

6-8. wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?—Doubtless their carnal views of Messiah's kingdom had by this time been modified, though how far it is impossible to say. But, as they plainly looked for some restoration of the kingdom to Israel, so they are neither rebuked nor contradicted on this point. read more
