Apostelgeschichte 13:29 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 13:29

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him,
&c.] When they had vilified and reproached him in the most opprobrious manner; buffeted and scourged him, and pierced his hands and his feet, by nailing him to the cross; when they had crucified him between two thieves, and parted his raiment and cast lots on his vesture; when they had pierced his side, and it was sufficiently evident that his life was taken from the earth; all which were written of him in the Psalms and Prophets:

they took him down from the tree;
the cross, on which he was crucified: it may be rendered impersonally, "he was taken down from the tree"; for not the same persons that desired he might be slain, and fulfilled all that was written of him, took him down, but others; though they were some of the rulers, as Joseph of Arimathea, and Nicodemus, yet such as did not consent to his death:

and laid him in a sepulchre;
in a new one, in which never man lay; a sepulchre which Joseph had hewed out of a rock for himself, and which was both sealed and guarded.

Apostelgeschichte 13:29 In-Context

27 Denn die zu Jerusalem wohnen und ihre Obersten, indem sie diesen nicht erkannten, haben auch die Stimmen der Propheten erfüllt, welche jeden Sabbath gelesen werden, indem sie über ihn Gericht hielten.

28 Und obschon sie keine Ursache des Todes fanden, baten sie den Pilatus, daß er umgebracht würde.

29 Und nachdem sie alles vollendet hatten, was über ihn geschrieben ist, nahmen sie ihn vom Holze herab und legten ihn in eine Gruft.

30 Gott aber hat ihn aus den Toten auferweckt,

31 und er ist mehrere Tage hindurch denen erschienen, die mit ihm hinaufgezogen waren von Galiläa nach Jerusalem, welche jetzt seine Zeugen an das Volk sind.
