Acts 3:11-26 BSB

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:21

21. Heaven must receive The Jews held but one coming of Christ, and Peter, in order to correct their view, declares that he must remain in heaven until a second advent. There was a great debate among expositors whether, according to the Greek, Jesus was to take possession of heaven or heaven was to receive him. The former is the loftier expression; but the latter, as impartial scholars generally agree, is the better Greek. Times of restitution of all things Great differences of opinion... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:22

22. For This word connects 22-26 with Acts 3:21. Jesus must stay in heaven while the prophecies of Moses, Samuel, and all are being fulfilled that is, during the these days (Acts 3:24) of Gospel probation. A Prophet Peter in this and the following verse gives the substance in brief of Deuteronomy 18:15-19, in which God by Moses promises a prophet yet to come like unto Moses. By Jews, and rationalists, semi-rationalists, and even, strange to say, by some evangelic divines, this prophecy... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:24

24. All See note on Acts 3:18. From Samuel Between Moses and Samuel prophecy was mostly withdrawn. In 1 Samuel 2:10; 1 Samuel 2:35, the Messiah ( Anointed) or Christ is first mentioned. Before David, Moses is the type of the coming one; after king David, Messiah is imaged as a king. These days So that it is of these days, the days before the second advent, that all his holy prophets in Acts 3:21 have spoken. That is, the times of the αποκαταστασις or fulfilment spoken of in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:25

25. Children of the prophets As Jews the prophets are your ancestors, and you are, unlike Gentiles, their children, heirs to the blessings they predicted on the chosen race. Of the covenant Genesis 17:2. The agreement, compact, or covenant between God and Abraham, including his seed after him, pledged obedience on one side and blessing from the other.

26. Unto you first See note on Matthew 10:5. To the Jews, as the ancient theocracy, the Gospel was to be first presented that they might be the main body of the theocracy still. Christ was their birthright until they had fully rejected him. But when they fully, like Judas, betrayed and rejected him, like Judas they were cast away and another came into the birthright. The churchdom, the covenant, all the promises, went to the heirs by faith, who now became the true Israel. First Implying... read more
