使徒行传 15:12 RCUVSS

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 15:1-99

Acts 15 FOURTEEN YEARS HAD passed since Paul’s first brief visit to Jerusalem three years after his conversion, as recorded in Acts 9.26-9.29 , and in Galations 1.18 . The whole of Galations 2.0 furnishes us with remarkable insight to what was at stake in the discussion, which was started at Antioch and carried to its conclusion at Jerusalem; nothing short of the truth and liberty of the Gospel. We also discover that though in our chapter it says, “they determined” that Paul and others... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 15:5-12

The demand of the former Pharisees and Peter's answer: v. 5. but there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, that it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses. v. 6. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. v. 7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us that the Gentiles by my mouth... read more

Acts THE CHARTER OF GENTILE LIBERTY Act_15:12 - Act_15:29 . Much was at stake in the decision of this gathering of the Church. If the Jewish party triumphed, Christianity sank to the level of a Jewish sect. The question brought up for decision was difficult, and there was much to be said for the view that the Mosaic law was binding on Gentile converts. It must have been an uprooting of deepest beliefs for a Jewish Christian to contemplate the abrogation of that law, venerable by its divine... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 15:12-21

a Generous Conclusion Acts 15:12-21 When their turn came to speak, Paul and Barnabas contented themselves with emphasizing the signs and wonders by which God had set His seal on their words and methods. Would He have done so if they had followed a wrong course? Notice the two prepositions that they used in describing their work. They first told of what God had done in co-operation with them and then of what He had done through or by them, Acts 14:27 ; Acts 15:4 ; Acts 15:12 . Consider... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 15:1-41

In the work among Gentiles the question of circumcision very naturally arose, and its difficulty is revealed in the calling of a council. That council seems to have opened with much desultory discussion. Then followed the serious contributions. Peter's address is chronicled. In it he faced a supreme fact, that in sending him to the Gentiles God had proved that He made no distinction. The next speakers were Paul and Barnabas, who simply repeated the story of their work. The summing up by James... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:1-35

The Ministry of Paul and Barnabas Results in the Counter-attack of Satan and the Gathering at Jerusalem (13:1-15:35). Leaving Antioch under the direct commissioning of the Holy Spirit, in a parallel commissioning to that of Jesus to His Apostles in Acts 1:8, Paul and Barnabas go first to Cyprus and then to Asia Minor with the Good News, and after rejection by the Jews enjoy a successful ministry among the Gentiles, returning to Antioch with rejoicing over what God has done. However, as in the... read more

The Expansion Of The Word In Cyprus and Asia Minor, With Satan’s Counterattack Being Defeated at an Assembly In Jerusalem, Which is Then Followed By Further Ministry (13:1-18:22). Jerusalem having forfeited its Messiah and its right to evangelise the world, the torch now passes to Antioch. For in his presentation of the forward flow of ‘the word’ Luke now had to find the next great forwards movement and he found it at Syrian Antioch. From there at the instigation of the Holy Spirit (the Holy... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:12

‘And all the gathered crowd kept silence; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they rehearsed what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.’ Peter’s words had moved them all to silence. Living in Jerusalem they had not really been faced with the heart of matters like this before. They must mostly have recognised the truth of what Peter had said, and that, of course, he was right, but they had not previously had to face up to its implications. They had gone on... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:6-12

Acts 15:6-2 Kings : . The Deliberation.— The meeting is a public one (see Acts 15:12 and Acts 15:22). In Galatians 2 Paul says he laid his manner of preaching before those of reputation, in private. Peter comes forward (D says, “ in the Spirit” ) in the character of apostle of the Uncircumcision, rehearsing the facts given in chs. 10 f. But in Galatians 2, Peter accepts the character of apostle of the Circumcision, leaving the Gentiles to Paul’ s province. God’ s giving them the Spirit is... read more
