“If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;”
King James Version (KJV)
4:7 By what name - By what authority, have ye done this? - They seem to speak ambiguously on purpose.
4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost - That moment. God moves his instruments, not when they please, but just when he sees it needful. Ye rulers - He gives them the honour due to their office.
4:10 Be it known to you all - Probably the herald of God proclaimed this with a loud voice. Whom God hath raised from the dead - They knew in their own consciences that it was so. And though they had hired the soldiers to tell a most senseless and incredible tale to the contrary, #Matt 28:12|,15, yet it is observable, they did not, so far as we can learn, dare to plead it before Peter and John.
4:11 #Psalm 118:22|.
Ac 4:9 If we this day be examined of the good deed. Observe Peter's point, that they are prisoners on trial for a "good deed".
