Apostelgeschichte 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.

Apostelgeschichte 13:29 In-Context

27 Denn die zu Jerusalem wohnen und ihre Obersten, dieweil sie diesen nicht kannten noch die Stimme der Propheten (die alle Sabbate gelesen werden), haben sie dieselben mit ihrem Urteil erfüllt.

28 Und wiewohl sie keine Ursache des Todes an ihm fanden, baten sie doch Pilatus, ihn zu töten.

29 Und als sie alles vollendet hatten, was von ihm geschrieben ist, nahmen sie ihn von dem Holz und legten ihn in ein Grab.

30 Aber Gott hat ihn auferweckt von den Toten;

31 und er ist erschienen viele Tage denen, die mit ihm hinauf von Galiläa gen Jerusalem gegangen waren, welche sind seine Zeugen an das Volk.
