Apostelgeschichte 26:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:6

And now I stand, and am judged
Before the Roman governor, and in the presence of Agrippa:

for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;
either for the hope of righteousness, life, and salvation, by the Messiah; who was promised to the Jewish fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and others; see ( Genesis 22:18 ) ( 49:10 ) or for the hope of the resurrection of the dead, and eternal life; of which there are various testimonies in the writings of the Old Testament, committed to the people of the Jews. ( Job 19:26 Job 19:27 ) ( Isaiah 26:19 ) ( Daniel 12:2 ) and others; and both these senses may be very well joined together, for it was for asserting that the promised Messiah was come, and that Jesus of Nazareth was he; that he was risen from the dead, and that all the dead will be raised by him; and that life and righteousness, salvation, and everlasting glory and happiness, are only by him; for asserting these things, I say, the apostle was now a prisoner, and stood at the bar of a Roman judge, being accused by the Jews.

Apostelgeschichte 26:6 In-Context

4 Zwar mein Leben von Jugend auf, wie das von Anfang unter diesem Volk zu Jerusalem zugebracht ist, wissen alle Juden,
5 die mich von Anbeginn gekannt haben, wenn sie es wollten bezeugen. Denn ich bin ein Pharisäer gewesen, welches ist die strengste Sekte unseres Gottesdienstes.
6 Und nun stehe ich und werde angeklagt über die Hoffnung auf die Verheißung, so geschehen ist von Gott zu unsern Vätern,
7 zu welcher hoffen die zwölf Geschlechter der Unsern zu kommen mit Gottesdienst emsig Tag und Nacht. Dieser Hoffnung halben werde ich, König Agrippa, von den Juden beschuldigt.
8 Warum wird das für unglaublich bei euch geachtet, das Gott Tote auferweckt?
