Verses 25-31
4. The Church triumphant over the Sanhedrin, Acts 4:23-31 .
From the high court of the nation, in its dignity and deadness, we are now transferred to the retired “room” of the living Church. The separation is now forever initiated. In the heart and language of this inspired body, David, Christ, and their own souls are on one side with God, and the heathen, Herod, and the Jewish rulers are on the other. They spread their case before God and receive a miraculous response. That response is the divine affirmation that Jehovah is with them. The current of their prayer is this: Invoking the supreme God, (24,) they proclaim that the powers of evil are in arms against them, (25-28,) and implore that they may have divine aid to maintain the holy cause of Jesus, (29, 30.)
