Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Acts 3:11-26

B.—Peter’s Testimony Concerning Jesus, Delivered In The Presence Of The PeopleActs 3:11-2611And as the lame man which was healed4 held [But as the lame man held fast to] Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering [full of wonder]. 12And [But] when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel [Ye Israelitish men], why marvel ye at this [this man]? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or... read more

Acts THE SERVANT OF THE LORD Act_3:26 . So ended Peter’s bold address to the wondering crowd gathered in the Temple courts around him, with his companion John and the lame man whom they had healed. A glance at his words will show how extraordinarily outspoken and courageous they are. He charges home on his hearers the guilt of Christ’s death, unfalteringly proclaims His Messiahship, bears witness to His Resurrection and Ascension, asserts that He is the End and Fulfilment of ancient... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 3:11-26

Searching Words Acts 3:11-26 Peter’s sermon was delivered in the eastern colonnade of the Temple. It derived its name probably from the fact that Solomon’s Porch had originally occupied that site. The Apostle argued that the gospel which was given them to proclaim was only the flower of the revelations which had been given them through the prophets. How vast the change wrought in this man by the strength and illumination imparted to him at Pentecost! Why should we not seek to be similarly... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 3:1-26

The men at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple is the illustration of a constant fact: approximation to God is a habit of humanity in its need. Mendicants are not often found at the doors where an infidel lecture has been delivered. In speaking to the man, Peter revealed the essential meaning of Christianity. He was not able to minister to the man in material things so far as silver and gold were concerned. He was, however, able to communicate to him something which would make him master of his... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:1-26

The Ministry of the Apostles (3:1-6:7). The pouring out of the Holy Spirit having taken place, and the infant church having been shown to be established, Luke now goes on to deal with the way in which the infant church rapidly expanded, firstly through the ministry of the Apostles (Acts 3:1 to Acts 6:7), and then more widely through the ministry of some of their appointees (Acts 6:8 to Acts 9:31). God is revealed as at work in sovereign power, and His Apostles are having to keep up. But it is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12-26

Peter’s Second Proclamation to the People (3:12-26). As in his first message Peter first refers back to the past, but this time it is to ‘the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’, the ones who had received from God the promise of blessing (compare Acts 3:25). He wants the people to know that they bring no new god. Jesus’ God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the One Who delivered His people from Egypt (Exodus 3:6). Then he goes on to describe Jesus as the Servant of God referred to by... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:25-26

“You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” So they should listen. For they are the ‘sons of the prophets’, that is they come from the same background ideas and thoughts and mind-stream and nationality of the prophets, and look to the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12-26

Acts 3:12-Ezekiel : . Speech of Peter. Acts 3:12-Nehemiah : . The Facts.— The idea and arrangement of the speech closely resemble that of Acts 2:14-Zephaniah :; it exhibits the style of controversy with the Jews. The hearers are addressed as “ men of Israel” ; appeal is made to their history and beliefs as such. The apostles have not performed the cure by any power of their own nor merited it by their piety; the cure is due to the new act of God which has taken place in the old religion. God... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 3:25

Children of the prophets; the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are called prophets, Psalms 105:15, and did prophesy, foretelling things to come, &c. The disciples of the prophets are also called their children, or sons, 2 Kings 2:3; and so these pretended and desired to be accounted. Children of the covenant are sixth unto whom the covenant belongs, which God made with Abraham and his seed; hence they are called the children of the promise, Romans 9:8 Galatians 4:28; and the children... read more

Unto you first; the Jews and inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are the lost sheep of the house of Israel. St. Peter did not yet know, that the Gentiles should be called, until he was taught it by the vision, Acts 10:1-48; and though our Saviour had told the apostles that they should be his witnesses unto the uttermost part of the earth, Acts 1:8, they understood it only of those of their own nation, scattered or dispersed abroad, 1 Peter 1:1. Raised up his son, Jesus; which word does not only refer... read more
