Hechos 3:14

14 Mas vosotros repudiasteis al Santo y Justo, y pedisteis que se os concediera un asesino,

Hechos 3:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 3:14

But ye denied the Holy One, and the just
Who is "holy" both in his divine and human nature, and the fountain of holiness to his people; see ( Psalms 16:10 ) and who is "just" or "righteous", both in his person, and in the discharge of his office, and has wrought a righteousness for his people, which is imputed to them. These characters may have a particular regard to the purity of Christ, as man, and to the innocence of his life, and the harmlessness of his actions, in opposition to the unjust charges of his enemies, and the base treatment he met with from them who denied him to be the Christ, the Redeemer and Saviour: and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
when it was put to their choice, who they would have released, Christ or Barabbas; they requested it as a favour, and desired they might be gratified in having Barabbas, a thief, and a robber, who, with others, had raised an insurrection, and committed murder in it, released, and Christ crucified. They desired an act of grace for him, and a sentence of condemnation to a most shameful and painful death on Christ.

Hechos 3:14 In-Context

12 Al ver esto Pedro, dijo al pueblo: Varones israelitas, ¿por qué os maravilláis de esto, o por qué nos miráis así, como si por nuestro propio poder o piedad le hubiéramos hecho andar?

13 El Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob, el Dios de nuestros padres, ha glorificado a su siervo Jesús, al que vosotros entregasteis y repudiasteis en presencia de Pilato, cuando éste había resuelto ponerle en libertad.

14 Mas vosotros repudiasteis al Santo y Justo, y pedisteis que se os concediera un asesino,

15 y disteis muerte al Autor de la vida, al que Dios resucitó de entre los muertos, de lo cual nosotros somos testigos.

16 Y por la fe en su nombre, es el nombre de Jesús lo que ha fortalecido a este hombre a quien veis y conocéis; y la fe que viene por medio de El, le ha dado esta perfecta sanidad en presencia de todos vosotros.
