Acts 3:1-26 BSB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:16

And his name, through faith in his name ,.... That is, the name of Christ, or the power of Christ, through the faith of the apostles in him, while they made use of his name, and said, "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth", &c.; Acts 3:6 or Christ, through the faith of the lame man in him; and when his name was used in this manner by the apostles; not that either their faith, or his, had any causal influence on the cure, but was the way and means in which they, glorifying Christ, he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:17

And now, brethren ,.... He calls them brethren, because they were so according to the flesh; and to testify his cordial love and affection for them. I wot , or "I know", that through ignorance ye did it ; delivered up Jesus into the hands of Pilate; denied him to be the Messiah before him; preferred a murderer to him, and put him to death. As did also your rulers ; the members of the sanhedrim, some of them; see 1 Corinthians 2:8 for others of them knew him to be the Messiah,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:18

But those things which God before had showed ,.... In the Scriptures of the Old Testament, concerning the betraying of the Messiah, and his sufferings and death, with the various causes, concomitants, and circumstances of them: by the mouths of all his prophets ; which were since the world began; some pointing out one thing or circumstance, and some another: that Christ should suffer . The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read, "that his Christ should suffer"; but then they leave... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:19

Repent ye therefore ,.... The Ethiopic version adds, "and be baptized"; see Gill on Acts 2:38 , and be converted . The apostle's sense is, repent of the sin of crucifying Christ, which is what he had been charging them with, and turn unto him, and acknowledge him as the Messiah; receive his doctrines, and submit to his ordinances; externally reform in life and conversation, and bring forth fruits meet for repentance, such as will show it to be true and genuine: that your sins may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:20

And he shall send Jesus Christ ,.... Or "that he may send Jesus Christ", as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it: not in person, for this regards neither his first, nor his second coming, both which might be terrible to the awakened Jews; the former, because he had been sent, and was come, and was gone again; and therefore might fear there was no hope for them, who had denied him, and crucified him; the latter, because they might conclude he would be sent, and come to take vengeance on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:21

Whom the heaven must receive ,.... Hold and retain in his human nature; and which does not at all hinder or confront his mission, and coming to his people, in the mean while, in a spiritual way and manner, to their joy and comfort: or, "who must receive heaven"; the kingdom, and glory, and reign there: until the times of the restitution of all things : not of all created beings to their original estate, which there is no reason to believe ever will be; or of the churches of Christ to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 3:22

For Moses truly said unto the fathers ,.... The Jewish fathers, the Israelites in the times of Moses. The Ethiopic version reads, "our fathers". This phrase, "unto the fathers", is left out in the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions, and in the Alexandrian copy: the passages referred to are in Deuteronomy 18:15 a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you : which is not to be understood of a succession of prophets, as some of the Jewish writers F3 Jarchi in Deut. xviii. 15. ... read more

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
