Handelingen 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.

Handelingen 26:6 In-Context

4 Mijn leven dan van der jonkheid aan, hetwelk van den beginne onder mijn volk te Jeruzalem geweest is, weten al de Joden;
5 Als die van over lang mij te voren gekend hebben (indien zij het wilden getuigen), dat ik, naar de bescheidenste sekte van onzen godsdienst, als een Farizeer geleefd heb.
6 En nu sta ik, en word geoordeeld over de hoop der belofte, die van God tot de vaderen geschied is;
7 Tot dewelke onze twaalf geslachten, geduriglijk nacht en dag God dienende, verhopen te komen; over welke hoop ik, o koning Agrippa, van de Joden word beschuldigd.
8 Wat? wordt het bij ulieden ongelofelijk geoordeeld, dat God de doden opwekt?
