Atti 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:33

And with great power
Either in a very powerful way, with great fervency of spirit, and ardour of mind, and uncommon zeal; or with great efficacy on the souls of men; or with many miracles, and powerful operations in healing the sick, casting out devils gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus;
which they were chosen to be witnesses, and were eyewitnesses of; and which is a fundamental article of the Gospel, and was what the Sadducees were particularly disturbed at, and on account of which they forbade them to preach any more in Christ's name. And great grace was upon them all;
not only upon the apostles and ministers, but upon the whole church: and which may be understood either of the large gifts of the Spirit of God, which were poured out upon them, and plentifully bestowed on them; or of the gracious protection of God over them, preserving them from the rage and malice of men; or of that grace and favour which they had among thee people in common; or of that charity, liberality and beneficence, which were among them, which sense is confirmed by what follows; though it may be all these senses may be taken in.

Atti 4:33 In-Context

31 E dopo ch’ebbero pregato, il luogo dov’erano raunati tremò; e furon tutti ripieni dello Spirito Santo, e annunziavano la parola di Dio con franchezza.

32 E la moltitudine di coloro che aveano creduto, era d’un sol cuore e d’un’anima sola; né v’era chi dicesse sua alcuna delle cose che possedeva, ma tutto era comune tra loro.

33 E gli apostoli con gran potenza rendevan testimonianza della risurrezione del Signor Gesù; e gran grazia era sopra tutti loro.

34 Poiché non v’era alcun bisognoso fra loro; perché tutti coloro che possedevan poderi o case li vendevano, portavano il prezzo delle cose vendute,

35 e lo mettevano ai piedi degli apostoli; poi, era distribuito a ciascuno, secondo il bisogno.
