Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 4:10

Acts 4:10. By the name of Jesus, &c.— The time of Christ's resurrection was that of the celebrating the passover, the most solemn festival of the Jews; the scene was in Jerusalem, the metropolis of Judea, and at that time crowded with Jews, who came thither from all parts of the earth, to keep the passover.

Peter referred to the "trial" as a preliminary hearing (Gr. anakrinomai), which it was. Jewish law required that people had to be informed of the consequences of their crime before being punished for it. [Note: Joachim Jeremias, "Untersuchungen zum Quellenproblem der Apostelgeschichte," Zeitschrift für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschrift 36 (1937):208-13.] Peter’s answer was straightforward and plain: the power of Jesus had benefited a sick man by healing him. This was good news not only for... read more
