For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.Perhaps the connection is, To the Jews we need write nothing on these heads; for they hear the law continually. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:1-41

PART THIRD. CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE GENTILES. From Chapter Acts 13:1, to End of Acts. Through the remainder of his work Luke’s subject is the evangelization of the Gentiles, and his hero is Paul. His field is western Asia and Europe; his terminal point is Rome, and the work is the laying the foundation of modern Christendom. At every point, even at Rome, Luke is careful to note the Gospel offer to the Jews, and how the main share reject, and a remnant only is saved. And thus it appears that... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:4

4. Come to Jerusalem Paul tells us in Galatians 2:2, that he went up not solely by the prudential conclusion of the Church, but by or rather according to revelation. This may have been a revelation to the Church, or to Paul directing him now to go to the metropolis and obtain from the apostles the full acknowledgment of Gentile rights and his own Gentile apostleship. They declared That is, in general conversations before the meeting in Acts 15:6. And during this interval before the... read more

5. There arose started up; not in the public council, but in the preparatory discussions. These certain were the counterpart and copartisians of the certain men in Acts 15:1. Pharisees Paul describes these very zealots in Galatians 2:4-6. read more

2. Session of the Council , Acts 15:6 . 6. Came together We have not here an example of what has in Church history been called “ a General Council,” that is, an assemblage of delegates and representatives from the various parts of Christendom to consult and decide the affairs of the universal Church. We have simply a respectful delegation from one Church to another Church possessed of superior special advantages for agreeing upon a great question. The so-called General Councils... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:7

7. Disputing A free discussion, the main object of which was to bring the facts and principles before the apostles and the Church. It is not perfectly clear that the certain of the sect of the Pharisees of Acts 15:5 formed part of the assembly, since by Acts 15:22; Acts 15:25, the final action was unanimous. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:7-8

3. Speech of Peter , Acts 15:7-11 . A good while ago The Greek has a very peculiar wording, signifying from ancient days. The apostle speaks as if the days so near to Christ seemed to him already a dim antiquity. He refers to the conversion of Cornelius about ten years agone. We see not the slightest reason for referring his language, as some do, to Christ’s counferring the keys, (Matthew 16:19,) for, 1. The keys were conferred on all the apostles alike, and not upon Peter alone; and, 2.... read more

9. Purifying Peter here touches the vital matter. What is any religion good for but to purify the heart and make it just before God? If Christ can now do it without circumcision, what need of circumcision? read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:10

10. Tempt ye God Putting his forbearance to the test by requiring what he does not require, namely, circumcision as a condition to the grace of the Holy Spirit. Able to bear The Jews could not so sustain the burdens of the law as to attain salvation by the perfection of their obedience. Ever was there that shortcoming that required the ritual atonement, and that failure even in attaining the efficacy of the ritual atonement which left the Jew in sorrowful condemnation, savable by grace... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 15:11

11. Grace… saved Peter here goes the full length of the Pauline doctrine salvation by grace of Christ to Jew and Gentile alike. If the twelve apostles were formally apostles of but the twelve tribes, why should there not be at least one thirteenth apostle for all the outside Gentile world? And since that Gentile world was far larger than the twelve tribes, why not its thirteenth apostle be mightier than all the twelve? read more
