Hechos 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.

Hechos 4:14 In-Context

12 »¡En ningún otro hay salvación! Dios no ha dado ningún otro nombre bajo el cielo, mediante el cual podamos ser salvos».

13 Los miembros del Concilio quedaron asombrados cuando vieron el valor de Pedro y de Juan, porque veían que eran hombres comunes sin ninguna preparación especial en las Escrituras. También los identificaron como hombres que habían estado con Jesús.

14 Sin embargo, dado que podían ver allí de pie entre ellos al hombre que había sido sanado, no hubo nada que el Concilio pudiera decir.

15 Así que les ordenaron a Pedro y a Juan que salieran de la sala del Concilio,
y consultaron entre ellos.

16 «¿Qué debemos hacer con estos hombres? —se preguntaban unos a otros—. No podemos negar que han hecho una señal milagrosa, y todos en Jerusalén ya lo saben.
