Received for taken, A.V.; commandment for commandments, A.V.; after that he had given commandment through the Holy Ghost for after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments , A.V. The commandment or directions given by our Lord to the apostles between the Resurrection and the Ascension are recorded partly in Luke 24:44-49 ; Matthew 28:19 , Matthew 28:20 ; Mark 16:15-18 ; John 21:1-25 .; and yet more fully in John 21:3-8 of this chapter.

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 1:2

The Holy Ghost in Christ. The statement in this verse is that our Lord spake, and gave his parting injunctions to his disciples, as one who was "filled with the Holy Ghost." Christ's Divine nature is set before us in varying forms; and we should take care lest the demands of Christian doctrine so absorb us as to prevent our receiving the whole scriptural impression. Especially difficult it is to connect the divinity of Christ with the revelation of the Divine Spirit, the Holy Ghost. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 1:3

Proofs for infallible proofs, A.V.; appearing unto them for seen of, A.V.; concerning for pertaining to, A.V. The addition of the words by many proofs makes it necessary to understand the words showed himself ( παρέστησεν ἑαυτόν ) in the sense which it bears both in classic and Scriptural Greek, of proved or demon-strafed: "To whom he gave distinct proofs of his being alive after his passion;" the proofs follow—being "seen of them" for forty days at intervals, talking... read more

THE WITNESSES . 1. Prepared and trained for the work. Not shown to all, but to those who could look at the miracle in its spiritual aspect, who could see the fulfillment of God's Word. 2.

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 1:3

The world's supreme question to the front. "Speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God." We hold in our hands, in these words, the key, not of a brief section of this chapter and this book alone, but rather of a very long stretch of time, and an immensely important and absorbingly interesting stretch of the world's history. Matters of the deepest and most touching individual interest, like all the charming incident of the four Gospels, must yield, we are here tacitly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 1:3

Sensible proofs of Christ's resurrection. The resurrection of our Lord is declared to have been a literal and historical fact, of which satisfactory proofs could be given—such proofs as men are accustomed to accept. Here it is stated that our Lord "showed himself alive;" that he "appeared -unto the disciples" (see Revised Version), that the proofs he offered of his restored life were "infallible," as well as "numerous; i.e. they were not merely "probable," or "circumstantial," they... read more

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

The former treatise - The former book. The Gospel of Luke is here evidently intended. Greek: the former λόγος logos, meaning “a discourse,” or “a narrative.”O Theophilus - See the notes on Luke 1:3. Since this book was written to the same individual as the former, it was evidently written with the same design to furnish an authentic and full narrative of events concerning which there would be many imperfect and exaggerated accounts. See Luke 1:1-4. Since these events pertained to the descent... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 1:2

Until the day - The 40th day after the resurrection, Acts 1:3. See Luke 24:51.In which he was taken up - In which he ascended to heaven. He was taken up into a cloud, and is represented as having been borne or carried to heaven, Acts 1:9.After that ... - This passage has been variously rendered. The Syriac translates it, “After he had given commandment unto the apostles whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.” So also the Ethiopic version. Others have joined the words “through the Holy Spirit”... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 1:3

He showed himself - The resurrection of Jesus was the great fact on which the truth of the gospel was to be established. Hence, the sacred writers so often refer to it, and establish it by so many arguments. As the fact of his resurrection lay at the foundation of all that Luke was about to record in his history, it was of importance that he should state clearly the sum of the evidence of it in the beginning of his work.After his passion - After he suffered, referring particularly to his death... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 1:1-3

Acts 1:1-3. The former treatise have I made, &c. The treatise here referred to is undoubtedly the gospel, which was written by Luke, and dedicated by him to Theophilus. See note on Luke 1:1-2. That treatise ends, and this begins, in that important season, which reached from the resurrection of Christ to his ascension; this describing the acts of the Holy Ghost, (by the apostles,) as that does the acts of Jesus Christ; of all that Jesus began both to do and to teach That is, of all... read more
