Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Acts 2:14-21

C.— The testimony of peterActs 2:14-36Contents:—Peter arises and asks for attention, Acts 2:14; he says: (1). These scenes are the fulfilment of Joel’s prophecy, Acts 2:15-21; (2) Jesus of Nazareth, whom ye slew, has been raised up. in accordance with the prophecies of David, Acts 2:22-32; (3) This exalted Jesus, the Lord and Messiah, has now poured out the Spirit, Acts 2:33-36.§ I.—Peter stands forth, and addresses the multitude.

§ II.—Peter’s address, continued; he demonstrates that, although the Jews had crucified Jesus of Nazareth, he was, nevertheless, by virtue of his resurrection and exaltation (as a consequence of which he poured out the Holy Ghost,), in truth the Lord and the MessiahActs 2:22-3622Ye men of Israel [Israelitish men], hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles [mighty works] and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also... read more

D.—The effect produced by the addressActs 2:37-41The address, and the exhortations which followed it, resulted in the conversion of three thousand souls, who were added by Baptism to the disciples of Jesus37Now when they heard this, they were pricked [pierced] in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38Then [But] Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in [upon, ἐπὶ] the name of Jesus Christ for the remission... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 2:17

Acts THE FOURFOLD SYMBOLS OF THE SPIRIT Act_2:2 - Act_2:3 , Act_2:17 . - 1Jn_2:20 . Wind, fire, water, oil,-these four are constant Scriptural symbols for the Spirit of God. We have them all in these fragments of verses which I have taken for my text now, and which I have isolated from their context for the purpose of bringing out simply these symbolical references. I think that perhaps we may get some force and freshness to the thoughts proper to this day [Footnote: Whit Sunday.] by... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 2:32-35

Acts PETER’S FIRST SERMON Act_2:32 - Act_2:47 . This passage may best be dealt with as divided into three parts: the sharp spear-thrust of Peter’s closing words Act_2:32 - Act_2:36, the wounded and healed hearers Act_2:37 - Act_2:41, and the fair morning dawn of the Church Act_2:42 - Act_2:47. I. Peter’s address begins with pointing out the fulfilment of prophecy in the gift of the Spirit Act_2:14 - Act_2:21. It then declares the Resurrection of Jesus as foretold by prophecy, and... read more

Acts PETER’ S FIRST SERMON THE NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME Act_2:36 . It is no part of my purpose at this time to consider the special circumstances under which these words were spoken, nor even to enter upon an exposition of their whole scope. I select them for one reason, the occurrence in them of the three names by which we designate our Saviour-Jesus, Lord, Christ. To us they are very little more than three proper names; they were very different to these men who listened to the... read more

the Outpoured Spirit Acts 2:14-24 The exulting joy of these Spirit-anointed people was accounted for by some through charging them with drunkenness. Peter dismissed the charge as absurd, seeing that the day was yet young. With a readiness that the Spirit had inspired, he declared it to be a partial fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy. This is that, Acts 2:16 . Alas, we cannot say as much! This might be that; this shall be that-these are all that we can affirm. Shall we ever be able to say, ... read more

David’s Lord and Ours Acts 2:25-36 When one considers the vast result of this address, one wonders at its simplicity. It is almost entirely a string of apt quotations. But what may not the Word of God do, when it is wielded by the mighty Spirit! Our Lord might have chanted to Himself Acts 2:26-28 , when He descended, step by step, the dark staircase of death. God can never leave us in despair. At our lowest, He is nearest. There are ways up to life from the lowest deeps. David spake deeper... read more

Pentecostal Days Acts 2:37-47 There were no exceptions in Peter’s great appeal for repentance. Every one of you! he declared. “But I drove the nails into His hands.” Every one of you! he insists. “But I pierced His side.” Every one! says the Apostle again. And from this motley crowd arose the primitive Church. Notice that those who had gone deep into sin are not required to serve a long novitiate between forgiveness and the gift of Pentecost. In Acts 2:38 the two are combined. Notice also... read more
