Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 26:6

And now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise of God unto our fathers.The promise ... Without any doubt this refers to the Messiah, the promised Saviour who would take away the sin of the world. The relationship of the coming of the Holy One to the Pharisees' belief lay in their faith in the resurrection of the dead. That belief in the resurrection was the foundation upon which the primitive church received the resurrection of Christ, the same event being that which declared him... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 26:7

Unto which promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!Twelve tribes ... Despite the widespread opinion to the effect that the ten northern tribes "disappeared," there is no doubt that "A great part of the ten tribes had at various times returned to their country,"[8] Anna, for example, having been of the tribe of Asher (Luke 2:36).Concerning this hope ... refers to the hope of the resurrection of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 26:8

Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?This identified Paul's principal accusers as being the Sadducees who denied the resurrection; and his affirmation that Jesus had risen from the dead further identified them as murderers of the Son of God. Their hatred, therefore, "was principally instigated by his preaching the resurrection, and preaching it through Christ."[12]Lange, Hackett, Howson, and other able scholars give what is thought to be a better rendition of this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 26:7

Acts 26:7. Unto which promise, &c.— Great numbers of the ten tribes returned with the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin from the Babylonish captivity, Ezra 6:16-17; Ezra 8:35. Luk 2:36 and many of them who did not return to the land of Canaan, did nevertheless entertain hopes of the coming of the Messiah, and of a resurrection and future state of happiness. See the note on Luke 20:38. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 26:8

Acts 26:8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible, &c.— Beza, with the Greek scholiast, would place a mark of interrogation after the word τι, and read it, What? is it thought incredible, &c.? which is indeed well suited to the animated manner of St. Paul's speaking. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 26:8

8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible . . . that God should raise the dead?—rather, "Why is it judged a thing incredible if God raises the dead?" the case being viewed as an accomplished fact. No one dared to call in question the overwhelming evidence of the resurrection of Jesus, which proclaimed Him to be the Christ, the Son of God; the only way of getting rid of it, therefore, was to pronounce it incredible. But why, asks the apostle, is it so judged? Leaving this pregnant question... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 26:1-23

Paul’s speech to the dignitaries 26:1-23Paul was not on trial here. When he had appealed to Caesar (Acts 25:11), he had guaranteed that his next trial would be before the emperor. This was just a hearing designed to acquaint Agrippa with Paul’s case so Agrippa could give Festus help in understanding it and communicating it to the emperor."This testimony of Paul is not a defense of himself. It is a declaration of the gospel with the evident purpose of winning Agrippa and the others present to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 26:4-7

The essence of the controversy surrounding Paul’s ministry and teaching, he explained, was the fulfillment of God’s promise to Israel, namely, salvation through a Messiah. This promise included personal spiritual salvation as well as national deliverance and blessing that the Hebrew prophets had predicted. The agent of this salvation would be a Savior whom God would anoint and who would arise from the dead. Paul’s conclusions concerning that Savior were the basis for the Jews’ antagonism... read more
