Apostelgeschichte 4:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:14

And beholding the man which was healed
Who either was taken into custody, and brought before the sanhedrim, along with the apostles; or rather, who came here of his own accord to be witness for them: for he was standing with them;
in company with them, and close by them, and on their side; and so they could, and did point and appeal unto him, who was ready to justify, that it was not by the use of medicine, or of magic art, or in the name of Satan or Beelzebub, but by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that his cure was wrought: they could say nothing against it;
they could not gainsay the fact, for the man was before them, perfectly well, whom they personally knew, by his lying so long at the gate of the temple; they knew that he had been lame from his mother's womb, who was now above forty years of age; and they could say nothing against the manner of his cure, who was present to attest it; nor could they say anything against them; the apostles, as the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read; they could not blame them for doing it, it being a good deed, nor charge them with fraud and imposture.

Apostelgeschichte 4:14 In-Context

12 Und ist in keinem andern-Heil, ist auch kein andrer Name unter dem Himmel den Menschen gegeben, darin wir sollen selig werden.

13 Sie sahen aber an die Freudigkeit des Petrus und Johannes und verwunderten sich; denn sie waren gewiß, daß es ungelehrte Leute und Laien waren, kannten sie auch wohl, daß sie mit Jesu gewesen waren.

14 Sie sahen aber den Menschen, der geheilt worden war, bei ihnen stehen und hatten nichts dawider zu reden.

15 Da hießen sie sie hinausgehen aus dem Rat und handelten miteinander und sprachen:

16 Was wollen wir diesen Menschen tun? Denn das offenbare Zeichen, durch sie geschehen, ist allen kund, die zu Jerusalem wohnen, und wir können's nicht leugnen.
