Acts 3
3:1 Now
1
Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being]
the ninth [hour].
(
1) Christ, in healing a man that was born lame
and well known to all men, both in a famous place and at a popular time, by
the hands of his apostles partly strengthens and encourages those who
believed, and partly also calls others to believe.
3:5
And he
a gave heed unto them, expecting
to receive something of them.
(
a) Both with heart and eyes.
3:11
And as the lame man which was healed
b
held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is
called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
(
b) Either because he loved them who had healed
him, or because he feared that if he let them go out of his sight that he
would become lame again.
3:12 2 And
when Peter saw [it], he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel
ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or
holiness we had made this man to walk?
(
2) Miracles are appointed to convince the
unbelievers, and therefore they wickedly abuse the miracles who, standing
amazed, either at the miracles themselves or at the instruments and means
which is pleases God to use, take an occasion to establish idolatry and
superstition by that which God has provided for the knowledge of his true
worship, that is, Christianity.
3:15 And
killed the Prince
c of life, whom God
hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
(
c) Who has life in himself, and gives life to
others.
3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath
made this man strong, whom ye see and know:
d
yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the
presence of you all.
(
d) Because he believed on him who was raised
from the dead, whose name he heard about from us.
3:17 3 And
now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did [it], as [did] also your
rulers.
(
3) It is best of all to receive Christ as soon
as he is offered to us: but those who have neglected so great a benefit
through man's weakness, yet have repentance as a means. As for the shame of
the cross, we have to set against that the decree and purpose of God for
Christ, foretold by the Prophets, how that first of all he would be crucified
here upon the earth, and then he would appear from heaven the judge and
restorer of all things, that all believers might be saved, and all unbelievers
utterly perish.
3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed
e
by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so
fulfilled.
(
e) Though there were many Prophets, yet he
speaks only of one mouth, to show us the consent and agreement of the
Prophets.
3:21 f
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which
God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
(
f) Or, be taken up into heaven.
3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers,
g
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
(
g) This promise referred to an excellent and
singular Prophet.
3:24 Yea, and all the prophets
h
from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise
foretold of these days.
(
h) At which time the kingdom of Israel was
established.
3:25 4 Ye
are the
i children of the prophets, and
of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy
seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
(
4) The Jews that believed are the first begotten
in the kingdom of God.
(
i) For whom the Prophets were especially
appointed.
3:26 Unto you first God, having
k
raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you
from his iniquities.
(
k) Given to the world, or raised from the dead,
and advanced to his kingdom.
