| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And by the hands ... - By the apostles. This verse should be read in connection with the 15th, to which it belongs.
Signs and wonders - Miracles. See the notes on Act 2:43.
With one accord - With one "mind," or intention. See the notes on Act 1:14.
In Solomon's porch - See the Mat 21:12 note; Joh 10:23 note. They were doubtless there for the purpose of worship. It does not mean that they were there constantly, but at the regular periods of worship. Probably they had two designs in this; one was, to join in the public worship of God in the usual manner with the people, for they did not design to leave the temple service; the other, that they might have opportunity to preach to the people assembled there. In the presence of the great multitudes who came up to worship, they had an opportunity of making known the doctrines of Jesus, and of confirming them by miracles, the reality of which could not be denied, and which could not be resisted, as proofs that Jesus was the Messiah. |

23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] walked [4043] in [1722] the temple [2411] in [1722] Solomon's [4672] porch [4745].
12 And [1161] by [1223] the hands [5495] of the apostles [652] were [1096] many [4183] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059] wrought [1096] [1096] among [1722] the people [2992]; (and [2532] they were [2258] all [537] with one accord [3661] in [1722] Solomon's [4672] porch [4745].
13 And [1161] of the rest [3062] durst [5111] no man [3762] join himself [2853] to them [846]: but [235] the people [2992] magnified [3170] them [846].
14 And [1161] believers [4100] were [4369] the more [3123] added [4369] to the Lord [2962], multitudes [4128] both [5037] of men [435] and [2532] women [1135].)
15 Insomuch [5620] that they brought forth [1627] the sick [772] into [2596] the streets [4113], and [2532] laid [5087] them on [1909] beds [2825] and [2532] couches [2895], that [2443] at the least [2579] the shadow [4639] of Peter [4074] passing by [2064] might overshadow [1982] some [5100] of them [846].
16 [1161] There came [4905] also [2532] a multitude [4128] out of the cities [4172] round about [4038] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419], bringing [5342] sick [772] folks, and [2532] them which were vexed [3791] with [5259] unclean [169] spirits [4151]: and they [3748] were healed [2323] every one [537].
17 Then [1161] the high priest [749] rose up [450], and [2532] all they [3956] that were with [4862] him [846], (which [3588] is [5607] the sect [139] of the Sadducees [4523],) and were filled [4130] with indignation [2205],
18 And [2532] laid [1911] their [846] hands [5495] on [1909] the apostles [652], and [2532] put [5087] them [846] in [1722] the common [1219] prison [5084].
19 But [1161] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] by [1223] night [3571] opened [455] the prison [5438] doors [2374], and [5037] brought [1806] them [846] forth [1806], and said [2036],
20 Go [4198], stand [2476] and [2532] speak [2980] in [1722] the temple [2411] to the people [2992] all [3956] the words [4487] of this [5026] life [2222].
21 And [1161] when they heard [191] that, they entered [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] early in the morning [5259] [3722], and [2532] taught [1321]. But [1161] the high priest [749] came [3854], and [2532] they that were with [4862] him [846], and called [4779] the council [4892] together [4779], and [2532] all [3956] the senate [1087] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474], and [2532] sent [649] to [1519] the prison [1201] to have [71] them [846] brought [71].
22 But [1161] when the officers [5257] came [3854], and found [2147] them [846] not [3756] in [1722] the prison [5438], they returned [390], and [1161] told [518],
23 Saying [3004], [3754] The prison [1201] truly [3303] found we [2147] shut [2808] with [1722] all [3956] safety [803], and [2532] the keepers [5441] standing [2476] without [1854] before [4253] the doors [2374]: but [1161] when we had opened [455], we found [2147] no man [3762] within [2080].
24 Now [1161] when [5613] [5037] the high priest [2409] and [2532] the captain [4755] of the temple [2411] and [2532] the chief priests [749] heard [191] these [5128] things [3056], they doubted [1280] of [4012] them [846] whereunto [5101] [302] this [5124] would grow [1096].
25 Then came [3854] one [5100] and [1161] told [518] them [846], saying [3004], [3754] Behold [2400], the men [435] whom [3739] ye put [5087] in [1722] prison [5438] are [1526] standing [2476] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] teaching [1321] the people [2992].
26 Then [5119] went [565] the captain [4755] with [4862] the officers [5257], and brought [71] them [846] without [3756] [3326] violence [970]: for [1063] they feared [5399] the people [2992], lest [3363] they should have been stoned [3034].
23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] walked [4043] in [1722] the temple [2411] in [1722] Solomon's [4672] porch [4745].
12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] of God [2316], and [2532] cast out [1544] all them [3956] that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them that sold [4453] doves [4058],
14 These [3778] all [3956] continued [2258] [4342] with one accord [3661] in prayer [4335] and [2532] supplication [1162], with [4862] the women [1135], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3384] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] with [4862] his [846] brethren [80].
43 And [1161] fear [5401] came upon [1096] every [3956] soul [5590]: and [5037] many [4183] wonders [5059] and [2532] signs [4592] were done [1096] by [1223] the apostles [652].
23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] walked [4043] in [1722] the temple [2411] in [1722] Solomon's [4672] porch [4745].
