Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 3:17-21.


Acts 3:18

_ _ that Christ — The best manuscripts read, “that His Christ.”

_ _ should suffer — The doctrine of a SUFFERING MESSIAH was totally at variance with the current views of the Jewish Church, and hard to digest even by the Twelve, up to the day of their Lord’s resurrection. Our preacher himself revolted at it, and protested against it, when first nakedly announced, for which he received a terrible rebuke. Here he affirms it to be the fundamental truth of ancient prophecy realized unwittingly by the Jews themselves, yet by a glorious divine ordination. How great a change had the Pentecostal illumination wrought upon his views!

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 3:12-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 3:18

But God — Who was not ignorant, permitted this which he had foretold, to bring good out of it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 3:18

But those things, which God before had shewed (e) by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

(e) Though there were many Prophets, yet he speaks only of one mouth, to show us the consent and agreement of the Prophets.
