Atti 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.

Atti 13:29 In-Context

27 Poiché gli abitanti di Gerusalemme e i loro capi, avendo disconosciuto questo Gesù e le dichiarazioni de’ profeti che si leggono ogni sabato, le adempirono, condannandolo.

28 E benché non trovassero in lui nulla che fosse degno di morte, chiesero a Pilato che fosse fatto morire.

29 E dopo ch’ebber compiute tutte le cose che erano scritte di lui, lo trassero giù dal legno, e lo posero in un sepolcro.

30 Ma Iddio lo risuscitò dai morti;

31 e per molti giorni egli si fece vedere da coloro ch’eran con lui saliti dalla Galilea a Gerusalemme, i quali sono ora suoi testimoni presso il popolo.
