Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 2:22-28.


Acts 2:27

_ _ wilt not leave my soul in hell — in its disembodied state (see on Luke 16:23).

_ _ neither ... suffer thine Holy One to see corruption — in the grave.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 2:14-36.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 2:27

Thou wilt not leave my soul in hades — The invisible world. But it does not appear, that ever our Lord went into hell. His soul, when it was separated from the body, did not go thither, but to paradise, Luke 23:43. The meaning is, Thou wilt not leave my soul in its separate state, nor suffer my body to be corrupted.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 2:27

Because thou wilt not (t) leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

(t) You will not allow me to remain in the grave.
