Hechos 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.

Hechos 13:29 In-Context

27 Pues los que habitan en Jerusalén y sus gobernantes, sin reconocerle a El ni las palabras de los profetas que se leen todos los días de reposo, cumplieron estas escrituras, condenándole.

28 Y aunque no hallaron causa para darle muerte, pidieron a Pilato que le hiciera matar.

29 Y cuando habían cumplido todo lo que estaba escrito acerca de El, le bajaron de la cruz y le pusieron en un sepulcro.

30 Pero Dios le levantó de entre los muertos;

31 y por muchos días se apareció a los que habían subido con El de Galilea a Jerusalén, los cuales ahora son sus testigos ante el pueblo.
