Acts 4:11 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 4:11

9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,

10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, ^athat by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, ^bwhom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

11 This is the ^a‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

12 ^aNor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The Name of Jesus Forbidden

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, ^aand perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

14 And seeing the man who had been healed ^astanding with them, they could say nothing against it.

Acts 4:11

This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, etc.—This application of Psalms 118:22, already made by our Lord Himself before some of the same "builders" (Matthew 21:42), is here repeated with peculiar propriety after the deed of rejection had been consummated, and the rejected One had, by His exaltation to the right hand of the Majesty on high, become "the head of the corner."

Acts 4:1-12

PETER AND JOHN BEFORE THE SAMHEDRIM. (Acts 4:1-13)

the captain—of the Levitical guard.

of the temple—annoyed at the disturbance created around it.

and the Sadducees—who "say that there is no resurrection" (Acts 23:8), irritated at the apostles "preaching through (rather, 'in') Jesus the resurrection from the dead"; for the resurrection of Christ, if a fact, effectually overthrew the Sadducean doctrine.
