Handelingen 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.

Handelingen 13:29 In-Context

27 Want die te Jeruzalem wonen, en hun oversten, Dezen niet kennende, hebben ook de stemmen der profeten, die op elken sabbat dag gelezen worden, Hem veroordelende, vervuld;

28 En geen oorzaak des doods vindende, hebben zij van Pilatus begeerd, dat Hij zou gedood worden.

29 En als zij alles volbracht hadden, wat van Hem geschreven was, namen zij Hem af van het hout, en legden Hem in het graf.

30 Maar God heeft Hem uit de doden opgewekt;

31 Welke gezien is geweest, vele dagen lang, van degenen, die met Hem opgekomen waren van Galilea tot Jeruzalem, die Zijn getuigen zijn bij het volk.
