Acts 4:13-33 ESV

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Acts 4:31

The place was shaken. Much in the same manner, as at the first coming of the Holy Ghost. --- They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Their hearts were inflamed and excited by a new motion of grace. (Witham) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Acts 4:32

All things were common. Happy would it be for society, if the rich of the present day were to imitate, in some degree, this charity of the first disciples, by distributing to those that want. Both would hereby become more happy; nor would the rich derive less pleasure from such actions, than the poor. (St. John Chrysostom, hom. xi. in Acts.) --- That cold and fatal word, mine, and thine, which has caused so many misfortunes and wars, was banished from among them. (Id. hom. de St. Philogon.)... read more

And great grace was in them all. All of them were present, were replenished with extraordinary graces of charity, zeal, &c. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 4:5-14

5-14 Peter being filled with the Holy Ghost, would have all to understand, that the miracle had been wrought by the name, or power, of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, whom they had crucified; and this confirmed their testimony to his resurrection from the dead, which proved him to be the Messiah. These rulers must either be saved by that Jesus whom they had crucified, or they must perish for ever. The name of Jesus is given to men of every age and nation, as that whereby alone believers are... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 4:15-22

15-22 All the care of the rulers is, that the doctrine of Christ spread not among the people, yet they cannot say it is false or dangerous, or of any ill tendency; and they are ashamed to own the true reason; that it testifies against their hypocrisy, wickedness, and tyranny. Those who know how to put a just value upon Christ's promises, know how to put just contempt upon the world's threatenings. The apostles look with concern on perishing souls, and know they cannot escape eternal ruin but by... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 4:23-31

23-31 Christ's followers do best in company, provided it is their own company. It encourages God's servants, both in doing work, and suffering work, that they serve the God who made all things, and therefore has the disposal of all events; and the Scriptures must be fulfilled. Jesus was anointed to be a Saviour, therefore it was determined he should be a sacrifice, to make atonement for sin. But sin is not the less evil for God's bringing good out of it. In threatening times, our care should... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Acts 4:32-37

32-37 The disciples loved one another. This was the blessed fruit of Christ's dying precept to his disciples, and his dying prayer for them. Thus it was then, and it will be so again, when the Spirit shall be poured upon us from on high. The doctrine preached was the resurrection of Christ; a matter of fact, which being duly explained, was a summary of all the duties, privileges, and comforts of Christians. There were evident fruits of Christ's grace in all they said and did. They were dead to... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 4:1-99

Acts 4 AS WE READ the opening verses we find the answer to this offer, which was given by the official heads of the nation. The offer being based on the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, it was particularly obnoxious to the Sadducees and to the priests, who were of that party. They gave it an unqualified rejection by arresting the apostles. The work of God, in converting power, went on however, as verse Act_4:4 records; and the next day, when examined before the council, Peter found fresh... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Acts 4:13-17

The consultation of the Sanhedrin: v. 13. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. v. 14. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. v. 15. But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, v. 16. saying, What shall we do to these men? For that... read more

The resolution announced to Peter and John: v. 18. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. v. 19. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. v. 20. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. v. 21. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the... read more
