The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:29-36

The first argument for the Resurrection. The apostles distinctly witnessed to the facts of the Resurrection, as having come within their own personal knowledge. But they also argued from Scripture, that the Lord's resurrection was the natural and necessary completion of Messiah's earthly mission. In the above passage is given the first specimen of such argumentation; and it should be carefully noted that it is fitted to Eastern rather than to Western modes of thought. The late Dr. Robert... read more

Being therefore for therefore being, A.V.; that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon for that of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh he would raise up Christ to sit on, A.V. and T.R. Had sworn , etc. The first record of God's promise to David is in 2 Samuel 7:11-16 : "The Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And … I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and will establish his kingdom …. Thy throne shall be established... read more

Being therefore for therefore being, A.V. ; poured for shed, A.V. ; see for now see, A.V. By the right hand , etc. Some render it," Being exalted to the right hand," etc.; or, "Being at the right hand of God exalted." It is very questionable whether the Greek will bear the first rendering; and it would have been more natural to express the second by εἰς τὴν δεξιάν . It is best, therefore, to take it as the A.V. and the R.V. do. Tile phrase is equivalent to that in Psalms... read more

Royal bounty. "Being therefore," etc. I. RECEIVED OF THE FATHER . The throne of Christ is the right hand of the Father. " Righteousness and peace have kissed each other." The obedience of Christ rewarded. The highest manifestation of the Divine in the Man Christ Jesus. The only true view of infinite power is that which sees it on Christ's throne as the source of the Spirit of life. Man's power destroys, God's power creates and saves. The thrones of this world fall, because... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:33

The explanation of the signs of Pentecost. Recall what those sensible signs had been. We may not think that the sound of the wind was still heard, and it seems hardly likely that the tongues of flame continued to rest on the heads of the disciples. But the ability to speak in foreign languages was the sign that chiefly arrested the people's attention, and this may have continued throughout the day. Some of the audience had, no doubt, also seen the "tongues of flame." St. Peter here... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 2:34

Ascended not for is not ascended, A.V. For David , etc. The ascension of Christ is inferred from the previous prophecy, "Thou wilt show me the path of life," etc.; and is there distinctly proved from Psalms 110:1 , which Peter (remembering, probably, our Lord's application of it as recorded in Matthew 22:42-45 , which he had doubtless heard) shows could not apply to David himself, but only to David's Lord. read more

Let all the house of Israel therefore for therefore let all the house of Israel, A.V.; him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified for that same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ, A.V., a change very much for the worse, inasmuch as the R.V. is not an English phrase, and adds nothing to the sense. read more
