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."
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.
