Atos 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:11

This is the stone
That is, this Jesus of Nazareth, by whose name the lame man was made whole, is that stone spoken of in ( Psalms 118:22 ) by whom is meant the true Messiah, comparable to a stone, for his strength and duration, and usefulness, as a foundation and corner stone, in the spiritual building of the church; and yet notwithstanding is the stone which was set at nought of you builders:
the priests, elders, and Scribes; who were fond of being called builders, but made miserable work of it; despising and rejecting the stone of Israel, and instead of him as a foundation, built themselves, and others, on the traditions of the elders, and their own righteousness: but though Christ was rejected by them, both in person and in doctrine, and was ignominiously treated, and at last put to death, yet he was raised from the dead, and exalted at the right hand of God; and is the stone, which is become the head of the corner;
or the chief corner stone, that adorns, strengthens, knits, and keeps together, the whole building; in which Jews and Gentiles, saints in all ages and places, even all the elect of God, are united together; (See Gill on Matthew 21:42).

Atos 4:11 In-Context

9 se nós hoje somos inquiridos acerca do benefício feito a um enfermo, e do modo como foi curado,

10 seja conhecido de vós todos, e de todo o povo de Israel, que em nome de Jesus Cristo, o nazareno, aquele a quem vós crucificastes e a quem Deus ressuscitou dentre os mortos, nesse nome está este aqui, são diante de vós.

11 Ele é a pedra que foi rejeitada por vós, os edificadores, a qual foi posta como pedra angular.

12 E em nenhum outro há salvação; porque debaixo do céu nenhum outro nome há, dado entre os homens, em que devamos ser salvos.

13 Então eles, vendo a intrepidez de Pedro e João, e tendo percebido que eram homens iletrados e indoutos, se admiravam; e reconheciam que haviam estado com Jesus.
