Hechos 3:25 RVA

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 3:25

The true importance of ancestry—what it is. These words were some of those addressed by Peter to a crowd of wondering and admiring spectators, and of attentive hearers also. These were gathered for him by the fret of the man whom he had delivered from his lameness resolving to cleave as long as he could to the side of his deliverer. The "common people" did on this occasion gladly hear Peter, as formerly they gladly were wont to hear his Master and their own. We are grateful to be able to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 3:25

Ye are the children of the prophets - Greek: “Ye are the sons of the prophets.” The meaning is, not that they were literally the “descendants” of the prophets, but that they were their “disciples,” “pupils,” “followers.” They professed to follow the prophets as their teachers and guides. Teachers among the Jews were often spoken of under the appellation of fathers, and disciples as sons, Matthew 12:27. See notes on Matthew 1:1. As they were the professed disciples of the prophets, they should... read more

Ye are the children of the prophets You are the descendants of that people, among whom the prophets were raised up, and to whom the prophets were sent. Those of the latter ages of the Jewish Church, when prophecy had ceased, yet might be fitly, in general, called the... read more

3:1-5:42 RAPID GROWTH AND GREAT POPULARITYPreaching in the temple (3:1-26)On one of their visits to the temple, Peter and John healed a crippled beggar.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 3:25

Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.Sons of the prophets ... seems to distinguish among the sons of Abraham, as between the secular descendants like the Pharisees, and those of the true spiritual likeness, here called "sons of the prophets," who were also posterity of Abraham, but in the more meaningful sense.Sons of the covenant ... clearly refers to the true... read more

Peter’s address in Solomon’s colonnade 3:11-26As is often true in Acts, an event led to an explanation (cf. ch. 2)."It seems strange, at first glance, that in his narrative Luke would place two such similar sermons of Peter so close together. But his putting the Pentecost sermon in the introductory section of Acts was evidently meant to be a kind of paradigm of early apostolic preaching-a paradigm Luke seems to have polished for greater literary effectiveness. As for the Colonnade sermon, Luke... read more
