Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 3:17-21

_ _ And now, brethren — Our preacher, like his Master, “will not break the bruised reed.” His heaviest charges are prompted by love, which now hastens to assuage the wounds it was necessary to inflict.

_ _ I wot — “know.”

_ _ through ignorance ye did it — (See marginal references, Luke 23:34; Acts 13:27; Acts 26:9).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 3:12-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 3:17

And now, brethren — A word full of courtesy and compassion, I know — He speaks to their heart, that through ignorance ye did it — which lessened, though it could not take away, the guilt. As did also your rulers — The prejudice lying from the authority of the chief priests and elders, he here removes, but with great tenderness. He does not call them our, but your rulers. For as the Jewish dispensation ceased at the death of Christ, consequently so did the authority of its rulers.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 3:17

(3) And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did [it], as [did] also your rulers.

(3) It is best of all to receive Christ as soon as he is offered to us: but those who have neglected so great a benefit through man's weakness, yet have repentance as a means. As for the shame of the cross, we have to set against that the decree and purpose of God for Christ, foretold by the Prophets, how that first of all he would be crucified here upon the earth, and then he would appear from heaven the judge and restorer of all things, that all believers might be saved, and all unbelievers utterly perish.
