Acts 2:24

_ _ was not possible he should be holden of it — Glorious saying! It was indeed impossible that “the Living One” should remain “among the dead” (Luke 24:5); but here, the impossibility seems to refer to the prophetic assurance that He should not see corruption.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 2:14-36.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 2:24

Having loosed the pains of death — The word properly means, the pains of a woman in travail. As it was not possible that he should be held under it — Because the Scripture must needs be fulfilled.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 2:24

(6) Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the (s) pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

(6) As David foretold, Christ did not only rise again, but also was void of all decay in the grave.

(s) The death that was full of sorrow both of body and mind: therefore when death appeared conqueror and victor over those sorrows, Christ is rightly said to have overcome those sorrows of death when, as being dead, he overcame death, to live forever with his Father.
