Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 4:1-31

Growth brings opposition (4:1-31)During the centuries leading up to the Christian era (see ‘The New Testament World’), several parties had arisen within the Jewish religion. The most important of these were the Pharisees and the Sadducees.The Pharisees came mainly from the common people, and tried to preserve the Jewish way of life from the corruption of foreign ideas and political ambition. They were concerned with the outward show of religion, but not so concerned with correct attitudes of... read more

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.As Walker said. "This jailing of the apostles was illegal; no charge was placed against them; it was a highhanded abuse of authority."[6] In the light of this, we should not make too much of the fact that, contrary to the night trial of Jesus, which was also illegal, they did, on this occasion, defer the trial until daytime on the morrow. This was not due to any concern for holy law, but they simply... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 4:3

Acts 4:3. For it was now even-tide.— Or, evening. As Peter and John went up to the temple at three in the afternoon, this expression makes it probable that some hours might be spent in preaching to the people; and consequently, that what we have in the former chapter, is only an abstract, or brief heads of the discourses that they made on this occasion, which probably is the case in general with the speeches recorded by the sacred historians, as well as by others. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 4:1-4

The arrest of Peter and John 4:1-4In chapters 4-7 there is a series of similar confrontations with each one building up to the crisis of Stephen’s death and the persecution that followed. The first four verses of chapter 4 conclude the incident recorded in chapter 3 ("as they were speaking," Acts 4:1), and they introduce what follows in Acts 4:5-31. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 4:3

It was too late in the day to begin a hearing to examine Peter and John formally, though this had not stopped the Sanhedrin from abusing Jesus (cf. Luke 22:63-66). Therefore the temple officials arrested them and put them in jail, probably the Antonia Fortress. Thus the Sadducees became the first opponents of Christianity (cf. Acts 2:47). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 4:1-37

Arrest of Peter and John1-22. Arrest of Peter and John. Peter’s speech before the Sanhedrin. The proceedings of the Apostles displeased the authorities, (1) because they taught the people (Acts 4:2) without having received the education and ordination of rabbis (cp. Acts 4:13); (2) because they preached the Resurrection, a doctrine particularly distasteful to the Sadducees, the dominant party among the influential members of the priesthood; (3) because they feared that the people would become... read more
