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 Y en ningún otro hay salud; porque no hay otro nombre debajo del cielo, dado a los hombres, en que podamos ser salvos.

13 Entonces viendo la constancia de Pedro y de Juan, sabido que eran hombres sin letras e ignorantes, se maravillaban; y les conocían que habían estado con Jesús.

14 Y viendo al hombre que había sido sanado, que estaba con ellos, no podían decir nada en contra.

15 Mas les mandaron que se saliesen fuera del concilio; y conferían entre sí,

16 diciendo: ¿Qué hemos de hacer a estos hombres? Porque de cierto, señal manifiesta ha sido hecha por ellos, notoria a todos los que moran en Jerusalén, y no lo podemos negar.
