Ac 4:1-13.
英文原文
Ac 4:1-13.
PETER AND JOHN BEFORE THE SAMHEDRIM.
1-12. the captain--of the Levitical guard.
of the temple--annoyed at the disturbance created around it.
and the Sadducees--who "say that there is no resurrection"
(Ac 23:8),
irritated at the apostles "preaching through (rather, 'in') Jesus the resurrection from the dead"; for the resurrection of Christ, if a fact, effectually overthrew the Sadducean doctrine.

Ac 4:4.
4. 男丁——即不包括妇女在内的男性；虽然这词有时兼指两者。
数目约到五千——而且这是在耶路撒冷，在那里，任何人都可轻易揭穿骗局或扑灭狂热（若果真如此），且有各种诱因促使人追查到底。
英文原文
4. the number of the men--or males, exclusive of women; though the word sometimes includes both.
about five thousand--and this in Jerusalem, where the means of detecting the imposture or crushing the fanaticism, if such it had been, were within everyone's reach, and where there was every inducement to sift it to the bottom.

John and Alexander--of whom nothing is known.

无标题
Ac 4:7.
7. 你们用什么能力，奉谁的名，作这事呢——这就等于承认了神迹的真实性，他们后来也自认无法否认
(Ac 4:16)。
英文原文
7. By what power or . . . name have ye done this--thus admitting the reality of the miracle, which afterwards they confess themselves unable to deny
(Ac 4:16).

10. 你们……和以色列众人当知道——仿佛借着此刻聚集的首领，向全国发出正式的司法见证。
因耶稣基督之名等——（参
Ac 3:13
等处注释）。
这人站在你们面前痊愈了——因为从
Ac 4:14
看来，那痊愈的人此刻正站在他们眼前。
英文原文

by the name of Jesus, &c.--(See on

even by him doth this man stand before you whole--for from
Ac 4:14
it appears that the healed man was at that moment before their eyes.

11. 他是你们匠人所弃的石头等——这一对
Ps 118:22
的引用，我们的主早已在同样的「匠人」面前亲自应用过
(Mt 21:42)，
此处恰切地重复，因为弃绝之业已做成，而被弃的那一位因被高举至高天威严者的右边，已成为「房角的头块石头」。
英文原文
11. This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, &c.--This application of
Ps 118:22,
already made by our Lord Himself before some of the same "builders"
(Mt 21:42),
is here repeated with peculiar propriety after the deed of rejection had been consummated, and the rejected One had, by His exaltation to the right hand of the Majesty on high, become "the head of the corner."
12
无标题
12. 除他以外，别无拯救；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救——使徒在这结语中何等崇高地将以色列的这些首领关闭在唯独从耶稣得救的门内，又以何等普世而有力的措辞，将他主高举为人类唯一的盼望！
英文原文
12. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved--How sublimely does the apostle, in these closing words, shut up these rulers of Israel to Jesus for salvation, and in what universal and emphatic terms does he hold up his Lord as the one Hope of men!

无标题
13-17. 看出他们是没有学问的平民——即在犹太学校的学问上未受教导，属于平民阶层；处于私人生活之中，未经讲道训练。
认明他们是跟过耶稣的——认出他们曾与耶稣同在；可能是记得曾经见过他们与耶稣在一起[MEYER, BLOOMFIELD, ALFORD]；但更可能是从他们的整个举止中察觉出与耶稣相一致之处：即「我们以为已经摆脱了他；不料！他在这等人身上重新出现，令我们苦恼于这位拿撒勒人本身的一切，如今又要在这等门徒身上被平息。」这是对这原始见证人何等的见证！但愿他们的继承者也能得到同样的评价！
英文原文
13-17. perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men--that is, uninstructed in the learning of the Jewish schools, and of the common sort; men in private life, untrained to teaching.
took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus--recognized them as having been in His company; remembering possibly, that they had seen them with Him [MEYER, BLOOMFIELD, ALFORD]; but, more probably, perceiving in their whole bearing what identified them with Jesus: that is, "We thought we had got rid of Him; but lo! He reappears in these men, and all that troubled us in the Nazarene Himself has yet to be put down in these His disciples." What a testimony to these primitive witnesses! Would that the same could be said of their successors!

无标题
16. 他们……所行的一件明显的神迹……在耶路撒冷的居民都知道……我们不能否认——你们这些官长啊，你们为什么想要否认它呢？岂不是因为你们恨光，不愿就光，恐怕你们的行为受责备？
英文原文
16. a notable miracle . . . done by them is manifest to all . . . in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it--And why should ye wish to deny it, O ye rulers, but that ye hate the light, and will not come to the light lest your deeds should be reproved?
17
无标题
17. 唯恐这事……越发传开，我们应当……严严地——严格地。
恐吓他们……叫他们总不可奉这名对任何人讲论——徒然的计谋！他们岂知那些英勇门徒骨中燃烧的火焰。
英文原文
17. But that it spread no further . . . let us straitly--strictly.
threaten . . . that they speak henceforth to no man in this name--Impotent device! Little knew they the fire that was burning in the bones of those heroic disciples.

英文原文

20
无标题
20. 我们所看见所听见的，不能不说——这里有一种奇妙的结合：既清醒而恭敬地诉诸审判官更佳的理性，又平静而深切地决意承受这不得不为之见证的后果——这表明有一种超越他们自己的能力临在他们身上，正合乎应许。
英文原文
20. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard--There is here a wonderful union of sober, respectful appeal to the better reason of their judges, and calm, deep determination to abide the consequences of a constrained testimony, which betokens a power above their own resting upon them, according to promise.
21
无标题
21. 想不出法子刑罚他们，因为百姓——不是找不到借口，而是不知道如何做才不至引起百姓的反对。
英文原文
21. finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people--not at a loss for a pretext, but at a loss how to do it so as not to rouse the opposition of the people.

Ac 4:23-37.
Ac 4:23-37.
彼得和约翰从公会获释，向聚集的门徒报告经过——他们同心祷告——惊人的回应与结果。
23-30. 既被释放，就到会友那里去——请注意两个对立的阶级，代表即将进入殊死冲突的两种利益。
英文原文
Ac 4:23-37.
PETER AND JOHN DISMISSED FROM THE SAMHEDRIM, REPORT THE PROCEEDINGS TO THE ASSEMBLED DISCIPLES--THEY ENGAGE IN PRAYER--THE ASTONISHING ANSWER AND RESULTS.

24. 他们……同心合意地高声——全体聚集的门徒听见彼得的报告后。
向神说——所有在场之人的心一同回应这崇高祷告的每一个字。
主——(参
路 2:29 注释)。
用于指神时，这个词表达的是绝对的权柄。
那创造天、地、海，和其中万物的神——因此，一切受造物在他面前都无能为力。
英文原文
24. they lifted up their voice--the assembled disciples, on hearing Peter's report.
with one accord--the breasts of all present echoing every word of this sublime prayer.
Lord--(See on
Lu 2:29).
Applied to God, the term expresses absolute authority.
God which hast made heaven and earth--against whom, therefore, all creatures are powerless.

25. 你曾借着……大卫的口——犹太人将第二篇诗篇归于大卫所作，虽然该诗篇未署名；而内部证据也证实了这一点。大卫的灵惊奇地看见「外邦、万民、地上的君王和臣宰」结成致命的联盟，敌挡耶和华和他的受膏者(他的弥赛亚，即基督)，便问「为什么」。这一激烈的联盟，正是我们这些祷告的门徒所亲眼见到的：「希律和本丢彼拉多、外邦人(罗马的权柄)和以色列人，都聚集抵挡你所膏的圣仆耶稣」。(参
徒 3:13
注释)。
最好的古抄本在「都聚集」之后读作「在这城里」，这可能对应
诗 2:6
中的「我的圣山锡安上」。
英文原文
25. by the mouth of . . . David--to whom the Jews ascribed the second Psalm, though anonymous; and internal evidence confirms it. David's spirit sees with astonishment "the heathen, the people, the kings and princes of the earth," in deadly combination against the sway of Jehovah and His Anointed (his Messiah, or Christ), and asks "why" it is. This fierce confederacy our praying disciples see in full operation, in the "gathering together of Herod and Pilate, the Gentiles (the Roman authority), and the people of Israel, against God's holy Child ('Servant') Jesus." (See on
Ac 3:13).
The best ancient copies read, after "were gathered together," "in this city," which probably answers to "upon my holy hill of Zion," in the
Ps 2:6.

28. 成就你手和你意旨所预定必有的事——即「你的意旨」预定要由「你的手」来成就。
英文原文
28. thy hand and thy counsel determined . . . to be done--that is, "Thy counsel" determined to be done by "Thy hand."
29
无标题
29. 主阿，如今求你鉴察他们的威吓——他们认出公会的威吓是世上联合势力对他们初生事业宣战的宣告，便不狂热地自欺、回避其危急处境，而是平静地求天地的主「鉴察他们的威吓」。
叫你仆人大放胆量，讲你的道——他们超越了自我，只求那无畏的勇气为主作见证，并求神以医治等神迹为他们的见证作属天的印证，都奉他的名而行。
英文原文
29. now, Lord, behold their threatenings--Recognizing in the threatenings of the Sanhedrim a declaration of war by the combined powers of the world against their infant cause, they seek not enthusiastically to hide from themselves its critical position, but calmly ask the Lord of heaven and earth to "look upon their threatenings."
that with all boldness they may speak thy word--Rising above self, they ask only fearless courage to testify for their Master, and divine attestation to their testimony by miracles of healing, &c., in His name.

无标题
31-37. 聚集的地方震动——这是福音将要引起的震动的荣耀记号
(徒 17:6； 参
徒 16:26)，
以及由此产生的一切敌对势力被推翻。
他们就都被圣灵充满，放胆讲论等——圣灵降在全体会众之上，首先正照他们所求的方式，使他们「放胆讲论神的道」
(徒 4:29, 31)；
其次融化了一切自私，在对基督徒合一的强烈而炽热的体验中，连个人的感觉都被吞没了。凡物公用的生活不过是这合一的外在表达，在这样的情形中是很自然的。
英文原文
31-37. place was shaken--glorious token of the commotion which the Gospel was to make
(Ac 17:6;
compare
Ac 16:26),
and the overthrow of all opposing powers in which this was to issue.
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and spake, &c.--The Spirit rested upon the entire community, first, in the very way they had asked, so that they "spake the word with boldness"
(Ac 4:29, 31);
next, in melting down all selfishness, and absorbing even the feeling of individuality in an intense and glowing realization of Christian unity. The community of goods was but an outward expression of this, and natural in such circumstances.

33. 使徒——这是对人心的影响。
大有能力地——「恩」指神的恩典丰丰富富地临到全会众。
见证主耶稣复活，众人也都蒙大恩
英文原文
33. with great power--effect on men's minds.
great grace was upon them all--The grace of God copiously rested on the whole community.
35
无标题
35. 照各人所需用的，分给各人，放在使徒的脚前——使徒大概是坐在众人之上。但这表达可能只是源自那一习俗，此处是比喻用法。
英文原文
35. laid . . . at the apostles' feet--sitting, it may be, above the rest. But the expression may be merely derived from that practice, and here meant figuratively.
36
无标题
36. 有一个利未人，名叫约瑟等——此处特别提到他，只是作为那弥漫于众人之中的慷慨牺牲精神的一个杰出范例。
生在居比路——使徒们无疑因他事奉的特质而如此称呼他。
劝慰子——利未人虽作为一个支派没有产业，却可以、也确实作为个人获得财产
(申 18:8)。
居比路——地中海中一个众所周知的岛屿。
英文原文
36. Joses, &c.--This is specified merely as an eminent example of that spirit of generous sacrifice which pervaded all.
son of consolation--no doubt so surnamed from the character of his ministry.
a Levite--who, though as a tribe having no inheritance, might and did acquire property as individuals
(De 18:8).
Cyprus--a well-known island in the Mediterranean.
Ac 4:1-13.
彼得 和约翰 在公会 面前。
1-12. 守殿官——利未人卫兵的。
殿的——因周遭所起的骚动而恼怒。
和撒都该人——「说没有复活」
(Ac 23:8)
的人，对使徒「传讲耶稣死人复活」感到愤怒；因为基督的复活若属事实，便有效推翻了撒都该人的教训。
