Actes 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:33

And with great power
Either in a very powerful way, with great fervency of spirit, and ardour of mind, and uncommon zeal; or with great efficacy on the souls of men; or with many miracles, and powerful operations in healing the sick, casting out devils gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus;
which they were chosen to be witnesses, and were eyewitnesses of; and which is a fundamental article of the Gospel, and was what the Sadducees were particularly disturbed at, and on account of which they forbade them to preach any more in Christ's name. And great grace was upon them all;
not only upon the apostles and ministers, but upon the whole church: and which may be understood either of the large gifts of the Spirit of God, which were poured out upon them, and plentifully bestowed on them; or of the gracious protection of God over them, preserving them from the rage and malice of men; or of that grace and favour which they had among thee people in common; or of that charity, liberality and beneficence, which were among them, which sense is confirmed by what follows; though it may be all these senses may be taken in.

Actes 4:33 In-Context

31 Quand ils eurent prié, le lieu où ils étaient assemblés trembla; ils furent tous remplis du Saint-Esprit, et ils annonçaient la parole de Dieu avec assurance.

32 La multitude de ceux qui avaient cru n'était qu'un coeur et qu'une âme. Nul ne disait que ses biens lui appartinssent en propre, mais tout était commun entre eux.

33 Les apôtres rendaient avec beaucoup de force témoignage de la résurrection du Seigneur Jésus. Et une grande grâce reposait sur eux tous.

34 Car il n'y avait parmi eux aucun indigent: tous ceux qui possédaient des champs ou des maisons les vendaient, apportaient le prix de ce qu'ils avaient vendu,

35 et le déposaient aux pieds des apôtres; et l'on faisait des distributions à chacun selon qu'il en avait besoin.
