Acts 4:4
But many of those who had heard the message believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Five thousand. Hosea prophecied that the wayway sons of Israel would return and seek the Lord their God and “come trembling to the Lord and to his goodness in the last days” (Hos. 3:5). The last days began when Jesus began his earthly ministry (see kemasukan for Heb. 1:2), and Hosea’s prophecy began coming to pass immediately after Pentecost. Many thousands of Jews came to Jesus (Acts 5:14, 26, 6:1). Note that the sons of Israel do not come crawling on their knees begging for forgiveness, but they come trembling in awe of the Lord’s goodness. Hosea is describing the new covenant of grace. He’s talking about the awesome goodness of God that leads men to repentance (Rom. 2:4).
Acts 4:5
On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;
(a) Rulers. The 70 man council that governed Israel was known as the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin had the authority to put people to death for religious crimes (see kemasukan Acts 7:58).
(b) Elders; lihat kemasukan for Matt. 16:21.
(c) Scribes; lihat kemasukan for Matt. 5:20
Kisah Para Rasul 4:6
dan Imam Besar Hanas ada di sana, dan Kayafas dan Yohanes dan Aleksander, dan semua orang dari keturunan imam besar.
(a) Hanas imam besar. Annas tua adalah bekas imam besar yang mengekalkan gelarannya dan pengaruh besar dalam Sanhedrin (lihat kemasukan for John 18:13).
(b) Kayafas was the high priest at the time of Christ’s death and in period immediately following (John 18:24). Annas was his father-in-law (John 18:13).
(c) John dan Alexander adalah ahli Sanhedrin atau Majlis Pemerintah. Seperti ahli lain yang berpengaruh dalam perhimpunan nepotistik itu, mereka mempunyai pertalian dengan Annas, bekas imam besar.
Acts 4:8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people,
(a) Peter. Simon Peter; see kemasukan for John 1:42.
(b) Filled with the Holy Spirit. “Under the influence of the Holy Spirit.” Peter had already received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. He had not run out of the Holy Spirit and did not need to be refilled. To be full of the Holy Spirit, as Peter was in this moment, is to be totally yielded to the Spirit’s influence. Gone was Peter the coward who denied the Lord in the courtyard of the high priest. This was Peter the Spirit-filled believer uttering words of power given to him by the indwelling Spirit of Christ.
(c) The Holy Spirit. Peter’s memorable speech to the Sanhedrin was not planned. Following the Lord’s instructions (see Mark 13:11), he spoke in the moment as led by the Holy Spirit.
(d) Rulers and elders; lihat kemasukan for Acts 4:5.
Kisah Para Rasul 4:9
jika kita dibicarakan hari ini untuk faedah yang dilakukan kepada orang sakit, tentang bagaimana orang ini telah sembuh,
Dibuat dengan baik juga boleh diterjemahkan secara keseluruhan. Perkataan asal (sozo) is usually translated as save (e.g., Matt. 1:21), but it also implies healing. When Jesus healed the sick, he sozo ed them; he healed them (Mark 5:23), delivered them (Luke 8:36) and made them whole (Matt. 9:21). To be saved literally means to be made whole. See kemasukan untuk Keselamatan.
Acts 4:10
let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health.
Jesus the Nazarene. A Nazarene was someone from Nazareth, a Galilean town of little consequence. In Judea, Jesus was known as a Nazarene in fulfilment of prophecy (see kemasukan for Matt. 2:23).
Acts 4:11
“He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone.
(a) Stone. Jesus, the stone the Jews rejected, became the foundation stone for God’s new covenant habitation (Ps. 118:22–23, Eph. 2:20).
(b) The builders. The Jews were as proud of their temple as they were of their religion. In their minds, they had built something that would impress the Lord. But they had no place for Jesus. The Living Stone not cut with human hands (1 Pet. 2:4, Dan. 2:34) did not fit in their manmade edifice.
(d) Chief corner stone. The corner stone is the first stone laid in a new structure. As such, it sets a mark for the rest of the building. Jesus is the corner stone on which God’s house is being built (Eph. 2:20).
Kisah Para Rasul 4:12
“Dan tidak ada keselamatan dalam siapa pun yang lain; kerana tidak ada nama lain di bawah langit yang telah diberikan kepada manusia yang olehnya kita boleh diselamatkan.”
(a) Tidak ada keselamatan dalam sesiapa pune. The original word for salvation means deliverance or rescue. Jesus is the great Deliverer who rescues us from our enemies (Luke 1:71). Christ alone is the author of our salvation (Heb. 5:9). See kemasukan untuk Keselamatan.
(b) Kita mesti diselamatkan. The apostles preached for a verdict. Like Jesus who encouraged people to repent and believe the good news (Mark 1:15), they encouraged their listeners to repent, believe the good news, and be saved (Acts 17:30, 1 Tim. 2:4, 1 John 3:23).
Acts 4:23
When they had been released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
(a) The chief priests; lihat kemasukan for Matt. 2:4.
(b) Elders; lihat kemasukan for Matt. 16:21.
Kisah Para Rasul 4:27
“Sebab sesungguhnya di kota ini telah berkumpul bersama-sama melawan Hamba-Mu yang kudus, Yesus, yang telah Engkau urapi, baik Herodes maupun Pontius Pilatus, bersama-sama dengan bangsa-bangsa lain dan bangsa Israel,
(a) HambaMu yang kudus Yesus; lihat kemasukan for Mark 1:24.
(b) Herodes Antipas was tetrarch of Galilee at the time of Christ’s crucifixion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist (Luke 9:9) and had tried to kill Jesus (Luke 13:31). See kemasukan for Luke 3:1.
(c) Pontius Pilatus adalah gabenor atau pengawas yang bertanggungjawab ke atas wilayah Rom Yudea pada masa penyaliban Kristus. Lihat kemasukan for Luke 3:1.
Kisah Para Rasul 4:31
Dan setelah mereka berdoa, goncanglah tempat di mana mereka berkumpul, dan mereka semua dipenuhi dengan Roh Kudus dan mulai menyampaikan firman Tuhan dengan berani.
(a) They were all filled. The Holy Spirit shook the room and the company of disciples, both male and female, became fearless preachers who spoke the word of God boldly. In Acts 2, both male and female believers began to prophesy (Acts 2:18). Then in Acts 4, they began to preach. When the Holy Spirit moves in power, who can stay silent? “The lion has roared… who can but prophesy?” (Amos 3:8).
(b) Firman Allah is the good news of Jesus, a.k.a. the gospel of grace. It is the divine revelation of God the Father that comes to us through his Son. This revelation is typically conveyed via words and preaching (1 Pet. 1:25).
The word of God is synonymous with the word of Christ (Rom. 10:17), the word of life (1 John 1:1) and the word made flesh (John 1:1, 14). Jesus is the Word or the Message or the Revelation of God (Rev. 19:13). Just as we reveal ourselves by what we say, God reveals himself in Jesus (Heb. 1:3).
Since Jesus came full of grace (John 1:14) from One who sits on a throne of grace (Heb. 4:16), the word of God is also synonymous with the word or gospel of his grace (Acts 14:3, 20:32).
