Hechos 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 15:8

And God which knoweth the hearts
Of all men; he being omniscient, the searcher of the hearts, and the trier of the reins of the children of men, knew with what sincerity Cornelius sent for Peter; and with what vehement desire and longing expectation he and his family and friends waited for his coming; and with what earnestness, diligence, and affection they attended to what he said:

bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto
us;
God bore a testimony, and showed his well pleasedness in the whole of this affair, by bestowing upon them not only the regenerating and sanctifying grace of the Spirit; but his extraordinary gifts, such as speaking with divers tongues, even in like manner as these were bestowed on the apostles themselves, on the day of Pentecost, though they were uncircumcised persons; for the drift of Peter's oration is to show, that circumcision was not necessary to salvation.

Hechos 15:8 In-Context

6 Los apóstoles y los ancianos se reunieron para examinar este asunto.

7 Después de una larga discusión, Pedro tomó la palabra:—Hermanos, ustedes saben que desde un principio Dios me escogió de entre ustedes para que por mi boca los gentiles oyeran el mensaje del evangelio y creyeran.

8 Dios, que conoce el corazón humano, mostró que los aceptaba dándoles el Espíritu Santo, lo mismo que a nosotros.

9 Sin hacer distinción alguna entre nosotros y ellos, purificó sus corazones por la fe.

10 Entonces, ¿por qué tratan ahora de provocar a Dios poniendo sobre el cuello de esos discípulos un yugo que ni nosotros ni nuestros antepasados hemos podido soportar?
