Acts 4:1

ACTS CHAPTER 4 Acts 4:1 The rulers of the Jews, offended with the teaching of Peter and John, imprison them. Acts 4:5 Being brought before the council, Peter boldly avouches the late cure to have been wrought in the name of Jesus, and that men can be saved by no other name. Acts 4:13 The council, struck with the boldness of the two apostles, after conferring together, dismiss them with a threatening charge to speak more in the name of Jesus. Acts 4:23 The church betakes itself to prayer. Acts 4:31 The presence of the Holy Ghost is signified by the house shaking, and the apostles thereby emboldened to speak the word. Acts 4:32 The unity and charity of the church, who have their possessions in common. The captain of the temple; the commander over those soldiers who were appointed to guard the temple, and provide that no disorder might happen, by reason of the multitudes that came to worship there; and most probably was a Roman, and not of the Jewish nation, much less the chief of any of the courses of the priests, to whom this term cannot agree. The Sadducees; these were most inveterate against the gospel, whose main article is the resurrection, which they denied: and thus each man, Jews and Gentiles, agree against Christ, as was foretold, Psalms 2:1,2.
