Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 13:38-41.


Acts 13:39

_ _ by him all that believe are justified from all things — The sense requires that a pause in the sentence be made here: “By him the believer is absolved from all charges of the law.” What follows,

_ _ from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses — is not an exceptional but an explanatory clause. The meaning is not, “Though the law justifies from many things, it cannot justify from all things, but Christ makes up all deficiencies”; but the meaning is, “By Christ the believer is justified from all things, whereas the law justifies from nothing.” (Note. — The deeper sense of justification, the positive side of it, is reserved for the Epistles, addressed to the justified themselves: and whereas it is the resurrection of Christ here, and throughout the Acts chiefly, which is dwelt on, because the first thing in order to bring peace to the guilty through Christ was to establish His Messiahship by His resurrection, in the Epistles to believers His death as the way of reconciliation is fully unfolded).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 13:14-41.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 13:39

Every one that believeth is justified from all things — Has the actual forgiveness of all his sins, at the very time of his believing; from which ye could not be justified — Not only ye cannot now; but ye never could. For it afforded no expiation for presumptuous sins. By the law of Moses — The whole Mosaic institution! The division of the law into moral and ceremonial was not so common among the Jews, as it is among us. Nor does the apostle here consider it at all: but Moses and Christ are opposed to each other.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 13:39

And by him all that believe are justified from (q) all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

(q) Whereas the ceremonies of the Law could not absolve you from your sins, this man absolves you, if you lay hold of him by faith.
