Verse 10
10. You all, and all… Israel The whole race, with its rulers at its head, is summoned to witness this new announcement.
By the name of Not Solomon or Raphael, but of Jesus, Messiah, the Nazarene. (See note on Acts 3:6.) Had Peter said, In the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, it might have been safer for himself; it would have been true; but they would have considered him as staying within the bounds of their own old Judaism. It was according to their law that miracles be performed in the name of Jehovah. But when Peter pronounced the name of Jesus they recognized apostasy from Jehovah; and when he styled him Christ=Messiah, he adopted an impostor; and when he added, Nazarene, whom ye crucified, he uttered a shame and a charge to arouse their wrath; a charge which the ages since have fearfully reechoed.
Whom ye crucified Guilty of a good deed, these prisoners arraign their judges for a most bloody deed.
By him Heroic reiteration.
This man Like at once a monumental proof and a firm confessor, the lame-born stands with his benefactors in the semicircle of the court.
Stand And so his legs speak though his tongue be silent.
Be the first to react on this!
