Hechos 3:8-26 NVI

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:15

And killed the Prince of life - Τον αρχηγον της ζωης , The author of this life: not only implying that all life proceeds from Jesus Christ as its source, but that the life-giving influence of that religion which they were now proclaiming came all through him. Αρχηγος signifies a prime leader or author, a captain, from αρχη , the beginning, head, or chief; and αγω, I lead. In Hebrews 2:10 , Christ is called Αρχηγος της σωτηριας , the Captain of salvation. He teaches the doctrine... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:16

And his name - Jesus, the Savior: through faith in his name, as the Savior, and author of life, and all its concomitant blessings, such as health, etc. It is not quite clear whether the apostles refer to their own faith in Jesus, or to the faith of the lame man. It is true Christ had promised that they should perform miracles in his name, Mark 16:17 , Mark 16:18 . And that whatsoever they asked of the Father in his name, he would grant it, John 16:23 . And they might have been led at... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:17

I wot - Οιδα , I know. Wot is from the Anglo-Saxon, to know ; and hence wit, science or understanding. Through ignorance ye did it - This is a very tender excuse for them; and one which seems to be necessary, in order to show them that their state was not utterly desperate; for if all that they did to Christ had been through absolute malice, (they well knowing who he was), if any sin could be supposed to be unpardonable, it must have been theirs. Peter, foreseeing that they might be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:18

But those things - he hath so fulfilled - Your ignorance and malice have been overruled by the sovereign wisdom and power of God, and have become the instruments of fulfilling the Divine purpose, that Christ must suffer, in order to make an atonement for the sin of the world. All the prophets had declared this; some of them in express terms, others indirectly and by symbols; but, as the whole Mosaic dispensation referred to Christ, all that prophesied or ministered under it must have... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:19

Repent ye therefore - Now that ye are convinced that this was the Messiah, let your minds be changed, and your hearts become contrite for the sins you have committed. And be converted - ΕπιϚρεψατε , Turn to God through this Christ, deeply deploring your transgressions, and believing on his name; that your sins may be blotted out, which are not only recorded against you, but for which you are condemned by the justice of God; and the punishment due to them must be executed upon you,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:20

Which before was preached unto you - Instead of προκεκηρυγμενον , before preached, ABCDE, fifty-three others, both the Syriac, all the Arabic, the Armenian, Chrysostom, and others, have προκεχειρισμενον , who was before designed, or appointed; and this is without doubt the true reading. Christ crucified was the person whom God had from the beginning appointed or designed for the Jewish people. It was not a triumphant Messiah which they were to expect; but one who was to suffer and die.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:21

Whom the heaven must receive - He has already appeared upon earth, and accomplished the end of his appearing; he has ascended unto heaven, to administer the concerns of his kingdom, and there he shall continue till he comes again to judge the quick and the dead. The times of restitution of all things - The word αποκαταστασις , from απο which signifies from, and καθιστανειν , to establish or settle any thing, viz. in a good state; and, when απο is added to it, then this... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:22

Moses truly said unto the fathers - On this subject the reader is requested to refer to the note at Deuteronomy 18:22 . From this appeal to Moses it is evident that Peter wished them to understand that Jesus Christ was come, not as an ordinary prophet, to exhort to repentance and amendment, But as a legislator, who was to give them a new law, and whose commands and precepts they were to obey, on pain of endless destruction. Therefore they were to understand that the Gospel of Jesus Christ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:24

All the prophets from Samuel - Dr. Lightfoot observes: "We have Moses and Samuel mentioned together in this place, as also Psalm 99:6 , because there were few or no prophets between these two, 1 Samuel 3:1 , and the apparition of angels having been more frequent; but, after the decease of Phineas, it is a question whether there was any oracle by Urim and Thummim, through the defect of prophecy in the high priests, till the times of Samuel. But then it revived in Abimelec, Abiather, etc."... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:25

Ye are the children of the prophets - This is the argumentum ad hominem : as ye are the children or disciples of the prophets, ye are bound to believe their predictions, and obey their precepts; and not only so, but ye are entitled to their promises. Your duty and your interest go hand in hand; and there is not a blessing contained in the covenant which was made with your fathers but belongs to you. Now, as this covenant respected the blessings of the Gospel, you must believe in Jesus... read more
