Hechos 9:33-35 NVI

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:31-43

Works of peace. It is a bright picture of happy and prosperous Church life that here opens. Peace "lay like a shaft of light athwart the land" of Judaea, Galilee, and Samaria. The work of edification, ever silent and sure like the growth of the tall palm, went on. There was the spirit of reverence and the sense of comfort and of joy in the presence of the Holy Spirit. That nation is happy whose life contributes few incidents that startle, changes that dismay, revolutions and wars that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:32-35

Wonderful ministry of the Apostle Peter. Introduction to what is about to be described—the extension of the apostolic ministry to the Gentiles. "Peter went through all quarters," i.e. where there were already Churches of believers. The general superintendence of the apostles was not in the way of despotic rule, but brotherly guidance. Situation of Lydda on the way to Joppa and so to Caesarea. But Peter's intention went no further than Joppa, i.e. not beyond the limits of present... read more

One specimen of Christian activity. The history has for some little while veiled the Apostle Peter from view. He now appears again in an episode that catches our attention the more because of the things it leaves unsaid. Let us notice— I. THE MORE REMARKABLE FEATURES OF THE BRIEF NARRATIVE . 1. The picture is put before our eye, by the mere touch of the sacred pen, of the full measure of activity that characterizes Peter. He is not at home. He is "not slothful" and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:32-43

The fisher of men. "The Church had rest," we read in Acts 9:31 , "throughout all Judaea and Galilee." Not so the primate of the Church. The Church's rest from persecution was his season of work. A brief glimpse of his work may be edifying to us. We saw something of his ministry at Jerusalem in the earlier chapters of this book—preaching, praying, praising, healing, protesting, resisting, suffering, perplexing his enemies, exhorting and comforting the saints. We saw him carefully building... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:32-43

The miraculous and the supernatural. In these verses we have two instances of the miraculous; and we may consider what was the worth of that element then, and why it has passed away; we may also consider the truth that the supernatural—the directly though not visibly Divine—still abides and will continually endure. I. THE RATIONALE OF THE CHRISTIAN MIRACLE , wrought in the apostolic age. Then it was (or seems to us to have been) necessary. 1. It was regarded as of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:34

Healeth thee for maketh thee whole, A.V.; straightway he arose for he arose immediately, A.V. Jesus Christ healeth thee. The juxtaposition, ἰᾶταί δε ἰησοῦς , looks almost like an intentional play upon the sound. Some of the Fathers who did not know Hebrew derived the name ἰησοῦς from ἰάομαι , and the Anglo-Saxon name for the Savior Haelend, the Healer, seems to have the same origin. Arise and make thy bed . Not (says Meyer), "Henceforth make thine own bed," but, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:34

A bodily absent Christ may be a spiritually present power. Attention is directed to the remarkable fact that St. Peter spoke to AE neas as if the Lord Jesus were actually present in the room; and that he was present is proved by the healing which followed upon the invoking of his power: "Jesus Christ maketh thee whole!" The words must have sounded very strangely to those who first heard them. They sound strangely to us. Jesus Christ was not there. No one saw him. No calming look from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:35

In Sharon for at Saron, A.V.; they turned for turned, A.V. In Sharon . The Greek represents the Hebrew נוֹרשָׁ , Sharon, which is the name of the rich plain which stretches from Joppa to Caesarea (see Isaiah 33:9 ). The name still lingers in the village of Saron. They turned ; manifestly an improvement on the A.V., as giving the sense of οἵτινες , viz. that all who saw the paralytic walking, turned, as a consequence, to the Lord, in whose Name the wonderful miracle... read more
