Hechos 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 6:14

For we have heard him say
The Ethiopic version adds, "besides"; but rather these words are a reason, giving evidence to, and supporting the general charge:

that this Jesus of Nazareth;
Stephen spoke of, and whom they so called by way of contempt:

shall destroy this place;
meaning the temple, as the Ethiopic version renders it; and is the same charge, the false witnesses at Christ's examination brought against him:

and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us;
that is, the rites, ceremonies, institutions, and appointments of the Mosaic dispensation; and yet this is no other, than what the Jews themselves say will be done, in the times of the Messiah; for they assert ^F16, that

``(awbl dytel) , "in time to come" (i.e. in the days of the Messiah) all sacrifices shall cease, but the sacrifice of thanksgiving.''

Hechos 6:14 In-Context

12 Y alborotaron al pueblo, a los ancianos y a los escribas, y cayendo sobre él, lo arrebataron y lo trajeron en presencia del concilio.

13 Y presentaron testigos falsos que dijeron: Este hombre continuamente habla en contra de este lugar santo y de la ley;

14 porque le hemos oído decir que este nazareno, Jesús, destruirá este lugar, y cambiará las tradiciones que Moisés nos legó.

15 Y al fijar la mirada en él, todos los que estaban sentados en el concilio vieron su rostro como el rostro de un ángel.
