Hechos 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:2

Being grieved that they taught the people
Any doctrine, and especially that which follows, and which particularly gave uneasiness to the Sadducees, they were exceedingly distressed by it; it pained them to the very heart, and they were filled with wrath and indignation:

and preached through, or in Jesus, the resurrection of the dead;
they not only preached the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead in general, but gave an instance and proof of it in the resurrection of Christ, affirming that he was risen from the dead; and they also preached up the resurrection of the dead in his name, and asserted, that he would be the author of it, and it would be erected by his power: so that their doctrine was equally disagreeable to the Pharisees and Sadducees; to the Sadducees, who denied that there was, or would be any resurrection of the dead; and to the Pharisees, who though they believed it, yet were highly offended that it should be said, that Jesus was risen from the dead; and that the general resurrection of the dead should be attributed to him.

Hechos 4:2 In-Context

1 Pedro y Juan ante el Concilio
Mientras Pedro y Juan le hablaban a la gente, se vieron enfrentados por los sacerdotes, el capitán de la guardia del templo y algunos de los saduceos.

2 Estos líderes estaban sumamente molestos porque Pedro y Juan enseñaban a la gente que hay resurrección de los muertos por medio de Jesús.

3 Los arrestaron y, como ya era de noche, los metieron en la cárcel hasta la mañana siguiente.

4 Pero muchos de los que habían oído el mensaje lo creyeron, así que el número de creyentes ascendió a un total aproximado de cinco mil hombres, sin contar a las mujeres y a los niños.

5 Al día siguiente, el Concilio —integrado por todos los gobernantes, ancianos y maestros de la ley religiosa— se reunió en Jerusalén.
