Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 7:23-25

‘But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian, and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance, but they did not understand.’ Once he had reached full age Moses had gone to visit his people, and seeing them suffer wrong, had revealed himself as the deliverer sent by God. He had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 7:17-44

Acts 7:17-: . Moses.— Stephen describes the growth of the people, the change of ruler and his oppression, as in Exodus 1. Acts 7:20 . fair unto God ( mg.): from Exodus 2:2; Philo and Josephus speak of the beauty of Moses. Acts 7:21 . Cf. Exodus 2:3; Exodus 2:10. The papyri show that the exposure of infants was still common in Egypt in Christian times. The OT says nothing of Moses’ education or learning; Philo knows much more of it than is here stated. Acts 7:23 . forty years old: according... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 7:23

Forty years old; this age of Moses is not set down in his history, but they might have it by tradition, which is here confirmed unto us by the holy penman: these forty years Moses spent in Pharaoh’s court. It came into his heart; it speaks these thoughts and resolutions to have been from God, that such a great courtier should so far debase himself; therefore this is deservedly attributed unto his faith, Hebrews 11:24, which is the gift of God, Ephesians 2:8. read more

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 7:1. The high priest’s question, Are these things so? analogous to that put to Christ (Matthew 26:62), was equivalent to a modern “Guilty or not guilty?”Acts 7:2. Concerning what Stephen said in reply, Luke’s information may have been derived either from Paul, who probably was present on the occasion (Acts 26:10), and afterwards in his own speeches and writings reproduced the martyr’s language (compare Acts 7:48 with Acts 16:24, and Acts 7:53 with Galatians 3:19), or from... read more

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 7:18. Another king which knew not Joseph.—This was Aahmes, the first monarch of the eighteenth dynasty, “a prince of great force of character, brave, active, energetic, liberal, beloved by his subjects” (Rawlinson, The Story of the Nations—Egypt, p. 152).Acts 7:19. Dealt subtilly with our kindred, or race.—With Aahmes the new policy towards the Israelites may have begun, but the author of the cruel decree appears to have been Seti I., while Rameses II. was the Pharaoh of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 7:1-60

Acts 6:0 ; Acts 7:0 Stephen. From the history of Stephen we learn: I. That fidelity to truth provokes antagonism; holiness and sin are mutually repellent; love and selfishness are the opposites of each other; and sooner or later the followers of the one will come into collision with the votaries of the other. The opposition of the ungodly is one of the seals to the genuineness of our discipleship; and if we bear ourselves rightly under it, who can tell but that it may be the occasion of... read more

DISCOURSE: 1756THE ZEAL OF MOSESActs 7:22-23. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.IT was urged against Stephen, that he was an enemy to Moses, and to the laws delivered by him. He, in vindicating himself against this charge, exalts Moses to the uttermost, as the greatest friend of Israel, who, at the peril of his life, and with... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 7:1-59

Let's turn tonight to Acts chapter 7.In the early church when a dispute arose among the Grecians--that is, those Jews of the Grecian culture. They were actually Jews, but they had followed the Grecian culture, which was a universal culture as the result of Alexander the Great's conquest of the world. He left little pockets of Greek culture in the major areas and in Jerusalem. There were many who were no longer kosher. No longer following the Hebrew culture. But had adopted the Grecian culture,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 7:1-60

The scope and design of St. Stephen’s defence before the council will be better understood, if it be properly analyzed. The rulers construed his defence to import, that the glory of their temple should wane; that the institutions of Moses were about to be superseded; and that the rulers did always resist the Holy Ghost. First, he describes the state of Abraham while he dwelt in Haran, as a state of uncircumcision when he received the promise of the Messiah, that in his seed all the families of... read more

Acts 7:1-53Then said the high priest, Are these things so?The high priest and his questionThis functionary was probably Theophilus, son-in-law of Caiaphas. The ex-officio president of the council called for the defence against the charge of blasphemy (Acts 6:13-14). The question, equivalent to guilty or not guilty, appears to have been put with great mildness, possibly under the influence of the angel-like aspect. (Bp. Jacobson.)And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken.--Stephen’s... read more
