George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Acts 3:14-15

The just one, and the holy one, even the author of life you killed: he that is the just one promised, the Messias, the Son of God, and true God. (Witham) read more

You did it through ignorance, but such as could not excuse the chief of you. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12-18

12-18 Observe the difference in the manner of working the miracles. Our Lord always spoke as having Almighty power, never hesitated to receive the greatest honour that was given to him on account of his Divine miracles. But the apostles referred all to their Lord, and refused to receive any honour, except as his undeserving instruments. This shows that Jesus was one with the Father, and co-equal with Him; while the apostles knew that they were weak, sinful men, and dependent for every thing on... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 3:1-99

Acts 3 THE ACTS is an historical book, but it is not mere history. An immense amount of apostolic service is left unrecorded, and mention is made of just a few incidents which serve to show the way the Spirit of God operated in bearing witness to the risen and exalted Jesus, and in conducting the disciples into the fulness of Christian blessing. The book covers a period of transition from the beginning of the church at Jerusalem to the full ingathering from among the Gentiles. This chapter... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 3:12-15

The Address of Peter in the Temple. An emphatic application of the Law: v. 12. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? v. 13. The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified His Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. v. 14.... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 3:16-18

The basis of the present facts in prophecy: v. 16. And His name, through faith in His name, hath made this man strong whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is by Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. v. 17. And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. v. 18. But those things which God before had showed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He hath so fulfilled. Peter had preached the Law to... read more

Johann Peter Lange

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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 3:1-13

Acts ‘THEN SHALL THE LAME MAN LEAP AS AN HART’ Act_3:1 - Act_3:16 . ‘Many wonders and signs were done by the Apostles’ Act_2:43, but this one is recorded in detail, both because it was conspicuous as wrought in the Temple, and because it led to weighty consequences. The narrative is so vivid and full of minute particulars that it suggests an eye-witness. Was Peter Luke’s informant? The style of the story is so like that of Mark’s Gospel that we might reasonably presume so. The scene and the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 3:14-15

Acts ‘ THEN SHALL THE LAME MAN LEAP AS AN HART’ ‘THE PRINCE OF LIFE’ Act_3:14 - Act_3:15 . This early sermon of Peter’s, to the people, is marked by a comparative absence of the highest view of Christ’s person and work. It is open to us to take one of two explanations of that fact. We may either say that the Apostle was but learning the full significance of the marvellous events that had passed so recently, or we may say that he suited his words to his audience, and did not declare all that... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 3:16

Acts ‘ THEN SHALL THE LAME MAN LEAP AS AN HART’ THE HEALING POWER OF THE NAME Act_3:16 . Peter said, ‘Why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?’ eagerly disclaiming being anything else than a medium through which Another’s power operated. Jesus Christ said, ‘That ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins, I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk’-unmistakably claiming to be a great deal more than a... read more
