Actes 4:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:26

The kings of the earth stood up
Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee, sometimes called a king, ( Mark 6:14 ) and Pilate the Roman governor, who represented his master Caesar; these stood, or rose up in an hostile manner, and set themselves against, and opposed themselves to the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth: and the rulers were gathered together;
the Jewish rulers, Annas, Caiaphas, and the rest of the members of the sanhedrim, who met together more than once; and particularly at the high priest's palace, to consult how they should take Jesus and put him to death; and who also gathered together at the same place, when he was taken, to arraign, examine, and condemn him. And this opposition, and these conspiracies and consultations, were against the Lord:
Jehovah, the Father of Christ, who sent him, and anointed him; so that what was done against Christ, was done against the Lord, their views and designs, their interest and glory, being the same: and against his Christ;
or anointed one, who was anointed by him, with the Holy Ghost, from his birth, and at his baptism, to be prophet, priest, and King.

Actes 4:26 In-Context

24 Lorsqu'ils l'eurent entendu, ils élevèrent à Dieu la voix tous ensemble, et dirent: Seigneur, toi qui as fait le ciel, la terre, la mer, et tout ce qui s'y trouve,
25 c'est toi qui as dit par le Saint-Esprit, par la bouche de notre père, ton serviteur David: Pourquoi ce tumulte parmi les nations, Et ces vaines pensées parmi les peuples?
26 Les rois de la terre se sont soulevés, Et les princes se sont ligués Contre le Seigneur et contre son Oint.
27 En effet, contre ton saint serviteur Jésus, que tu as oint, Hérode et Ponce Pilate se sont ligués dans cette ville avec les nations et avec les peuples d'Israël,
28 pour faire tout ce que ta main et ton conseil avaient arrêté d'avance.
