Atos 3:14-26 NVT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 3:12-26

We have here the sermon which Peter preached after he had cured the lame man. When Peter saw it. 1. When he saw the people got together in a crowd, he took that opportunity to preach Christ to them, especially the temple being the place of their concourse, and Solomon's porch there: let them come and hear a more excellent wisdom than Solomon?s, for, behold, a greater than Solomon is here preached. 2. When he saw the people affected with the miracle, and filed with admiration, then he sowed the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 3:11-16

3:11-16 As he clung to Peter and John everyone came running to them in the colonnade which is called Solomon's, in a state of complete astonishment. When Peter saw them he said to them, "Men of Israel, why are you surprised at this? Or why do you keep staring at us, as if we had made him walk by our own power or goodness? The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, your fathers' God, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and disowned before Pilate, when he had given judgment... read more

3:17-26 "Now, brothers, I know that it was through ignorance that you did it, just as your rulers did. But God has thus fulfilled those things which he foretold by the mouths of all the prophets that his anointed one should suffer. Repent, then, and turn so that your sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come to you from God, and so that he may send Jesus Christ who has already been preached to you. It is necessary that heaven should receive him until the times when all... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:14

But ye denied the Holy One, and the just ,.... Who is "holy" both in his divine and human nature, and the fountain of holiness to his people; see Psalm 16:10 and who is "just" or "righteous", both in his person, and in the discharge of his office, and has wrought a righteousness for his people, which is imputed to them. These characters may have a particular regard to the purity of Christ, as man, and to the innocence of his life, and the harmlessness of his actions, in opposition to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:15

And killed the Prince of life ,.... Or author of life, natural, spiritual, and eternal; who not only is the living God, and has life in himself; and as man, had such a power over his own life, as no man ever had; but he is the author of a spiritual resurrection from the death of sin, to a life of grace, and has procured eternal life for his people, and gives it to them. Now this Lord of life and glory they crucified. His death is laid to them because it was at their request, and through... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:16

And his name, through faith in his name ,.... That is, the name of Christ, or the power of Christ, through the faith of the apostles in him, while they made use of his name, and said, "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth", &c.; Acts 3:6 or Christ, through the faith of the lame man in him; and when his name was used in this manner by the apostles; not that either their faith, or his, had any causal influence on the cure, but was the way and means in which they, glorifying Christ, he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:17

And now, brethren ,.... He calls them brethren, because they were so according to the flesh; and to testify his cordial love and affection for them. I wot , or "I know", that through ignorance ye did it ; delivered up Jesus into the hands of Pilate; denied him to be the Messiah before him; preferred a murderer to him, and put him to death. As did also your rulers ; the members of the sanhedrim, some of them; see 1 Corinthians 2:8 for others of them knew him to be the Messiah,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:18

But those things which God before had showed ,.... In the Scriptures of the Old Testament, concerning the betraying of the Messiah, and his sufferings and death, with the various causes, concomitants, and circumstances of them: by the mouths of all his prophets ; which were since the world began; some pointing out one thing or circumstance, and some another: that Christ should suffer . The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read, "that his Christ should suffer"; but then they leave... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:19

Repent ye therefore ,.... The Ethiopic version adds, "and be baptized"; see Gill on Acts 2:38 , and be converted . The apostle's sense is, repent of the sin of crucifying Christ, which is what he had been charging them with, and turn unto him, and acknowledge him as the Messiah; receive his doctrines, and submit to his ordinances; externally reform in life and conversation, and bring forth fruits meet for repentance, such as will show it to be true and genuine: that your sins may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:20

And he shall send Jesus Christ ,.... Or "that he may send Jesus Christ", as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it: not in person, for this regards neither his first, nor his second coming, both which might be terrible to the awakened Jews; the former, because he had been sent, and was come, and was gone again; and therefore might fear there was no hope for them, who had denied him, and crucified him; the latter, because they might conclude he would be sent, and come to take vengeance on... read more
