Hechos 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.

Hechos 26:6 In-Context

4 Mi vida, pues, desde mi juventud, la cual desde el principio fue en mi nación, en Jerusalén, todos los judíos la saben;

5 los cuales tienen ya conocido que yo desde el principio, si quieren testificarlo, conforme a la más perfecta secta de nuestra religión he vivido, fariseo.

6 Y ahora, por la esperanza de la promesa hecha por Dios a nuestros padres, soy llamado en juicio;

7 a la cual promesa nuestras doce tribus, sirviendo constantemente de día y de noche, esperan que han de llegar. Por esta esperanza, oh rey Agripa, soy acusado de los judíos.

8 ¡Qué! ¿Se juzga cosa increíble entre vosotros que Dios resucite los muertos?
