Hechos 3:8-26 NVI

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:23

And it shall come to pass, that every soul ,.... Every person, man or woman: which will not hear that prophet ; neither believe what he says, nor do what he commands; or as it is in Deuteronomy 18:19 "will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name": for he that hears not him, hearkens not to God, in whose name he speaks, and whose word he delivers, shall be destroyed from among the people ; in the Hebrew text it is, "I will require it of him"; the Hebrew word, מעמו... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:24

Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel ,.... Who was, as the Jews call him, רבן של נביאים , "the master of the prophets" F12 T Hieros. Chagiga, fol. 77. 1. ; and they say, that Samuel the prophet is הנביא הראשון , "the first prophet" in the chain of the Kabbala F13 Ganz Tzemach David, par. 1. fol. 9. 1. Vid. Kimchi in Psal. xcix. 6. ; and therefore is here particularly mentioned, as at the head of the prophets, and next to Moses; there being but very few prophets between... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:25

Ye are the children of the prophets ,.... Of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are called prophets, Psalm 105:15 being lineally and naturally descended from them; to them belonged the prophecies of the Old Testament concerning the Messiah, and the promises of him; they were heirs of them; and of the covenant which God made with our fathers ; so the phrase בני ברית , "children of the covenant", is used by the Jews, as peculiar to themselves; See Gill on Romans 9:8 and so בר אוריין... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:26

Unto you first, God having raised his Son Jesus ,.... Which may be understood, either of the incarnation of Christ, and his exhibition in the flesh; which is sometimes expressed by raising him up, and is no other than the mission, or manifestation of him in human nature, as in Luke 1:69 . Or of the resurrection of him from the dead, and the exaltation of him at the right hand of God: sent him to bless you ; in person, according to the former sense; for he was indeed sent only to the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:8

Walking and leaping, and praising God - These actions are very naturally described. He walked, in obedience to the command of the apostle, rise up and walk: he leaped, to try the strength of his limbs and to be convinced of the reality of the cure: he praised God, as a testimony of the gratitude he felt for the cure he had received. Now was fulfilled, in the most literal manner, the words of the Prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 35:6 ; : The lame man shall leap as a hart. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:9

And all the people saw him - The miracle was wrought in the most public manner, and in the most public place, and in a place where the best judgment could be formed of it; for, as it was a Divine operation, the priests, etc., were the most proper persons to judge of it; and under their notice it was now wrought. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:11

Held Peter and John - He felt the strongest affection for them, as the instruments by which the Divine influence was converted to his diseased body. In the porch that is called Solomon's - On this portico see Bp. Pearce's note, inserted in this work, John 10:23 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12

As though by our own power - Δυναμει , Miraculous energy. Or holiness - Η ευσεβειᾳ , Meaning religious attachment to the worship of God. Do not think that we have wrought this miracle by any power of our own; or that any supereminent piety in us should have induced God thus to honor us, by enabling us to work it. Instead of ευσεβειᾳ , holiness, the Syriac of Erpen, Armenian, Vulgate, and some copies of the Itala, have εξουσιᾳ , power or authority; but the first appears to be... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:13

The God of Abraham, etc. - This was wisely introduced, to show them that He whom they called their God had acknowledged Jesus Christ for his Son, and wrought this miracle in his name; and, by thus honouring Jesus whom they slew, he had charged home the guilt of that murder upon them. Denied him in the presence of Pilate - Ηρνησασθε , Ye have renounced him as your king, and denounced him to death as a malefactor, when Pilate, convinced of his perfect innocence, was determined, ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:14

Ye denied the Holy One - Τον ἁγιον . A manifest reference to Psalm 16:10 ; : Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption; where the original word חסידיך Chasideyca , thy Holy One, is translated by the Septuagint, τον Ὁσιον σου , a word of the same import with that used by Peter. And desired a murderer - Barabbas: the case must have been fresh in their own remembrance. Like cleaves to like, and begets its like: they were murderers themselves, and so Christ calls them, ... read more
