Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Acts 7:17-29

But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, (18) Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. (19) The same dealt subtlety with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. (20) In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: (21) And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 7:17-29

17-29 Let us not be discouraged at the slowness of the fulfilling of God's promises. Suffering times often are growing times with the church. God is preparing for his people's deliverance, when their day is darkest, and their distress deepest. Moses was exceeding fair, "fair toward God;" it is the beauty of holiness which is in God's sight of great price. He was wonderfully preserved in his infancy; for God will take special care of those of whom he designs to make special use. And did he thus... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 7:1-99

Acts 7 THEIR HISTORY BEGAN with God calling Abraham out of his old place and associations, that he might go to the land of God’s choice and there be made a great nation. This is shown in Gen_12:1-3 , and it was an epoch-making event, as is evident when we note that a rather longer period of time is compressed into Genesis 1-11, than the period expanded to fill all the rest of the Old Testament. The call of Abraham marked a new departure in God’s ways with the earth, and with that new departure... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 7:23-29

Moses attempts to deliver his people: v. 23. And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. v. 24. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian; v. 25. for he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them; but they understood not. v. 26. And the next day he showed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 7:14-29

Stephen’s Defense: the Deliverer from Bondage Acts 7:14-29 Moses, we are here told, was “mighty in words;” that is, in eloquence as well as in deeds. This confirms the statement of the Jewish historian, Josephus, that in the earlier part of his career, now lost in the oblivion of history, Moses led a very successful Egyptian expedition against Ethiopia. He complains to the Lord, in Exodus 4:10 , of being slow of speech, but that probably refers to the habit of long disuse amid the silence... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 7:1-60

The charge against Stephen was that he had spoken against the Temple and the Law. His reply consisted of a masterly review of the history of the nation from the calling of Abraham to the rejection of Jesus. He was careful not to speak disrespectfully of the Temple, notwithstanding that he reminded them that the history of the nation was of a God-governed people long before the Temple was erected. Thus reviewing the past, he declared the blindness and hardness of heart of the people, who in the... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Acts 7:1-41

Stephen's Apology Acts 7:1-41 INTRODUCTORY WORDS After charges against Stephen had been placed, the High Priest with a show of honor, said, "Are these things so?" Stephen then stood forth and made his own answer. This answer is found in Acts 7:1-60 . We cannot complete our study of the Apology of Stephen in one sermon, but we will cover as much ground as we can. This sermon, or apology, or defense, which Stephen gave not only recounts Jewish history from Abraham to Moses; but it is replete... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 7:1-60

The Preaching and Martyrdom of Stephen (6:8-7:60). It is one of the exciting things about serving God that we never know what He is going to do next. In Acts 6:1-7 the Apostles had rid themselves of the administrative burden of ‘serving tables’ and dealing with the administration of food to needy Hellenistic Christians, by appointing seven men to perform the task, one of whom was named Stephen. Little did they dream that God would then choose to take Stephen and give him a ministry similar to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 7:2-43

From Abraham to the Prophet Like Moses - Reply To The Charge of Blasphemy Against God and Moses (7:2-43). The only way Stephen had of replying to charges of blasphemy when he had no supporting witnesses was to make clear what his whole theological position was and demonmstrate that in fact it was his oponents who were open to the charges. And that he set out to do. It is noteworthy that the background to the speech, together with the first part of the speech takes up ideas which are then... read more
