Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 3:1-26

Shall we turn to Acts, the third chapter.Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour ( Acts 3:1 ).The day started at six o'clock in the morning, sun up, so the ninth hour would be three o'clock in the afternoon. At two-thirty in the afternoon the evening sacrifices were offered. They did not go to the temple for the sacrifices. Following the sacrifices as the smoke of the sacrifice was ascending into heaven, it would be the hour of prayer and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 3:1-26

Acts 3:1 . Peter and John went into the temple at the hour of prayer. Some read, At the same time Peter and John went into the temple, intimating that this was the afternoon of the day of pentecost. Others conjecture that this miracle was wrought two or three days after the conversion of the three thousand, which is obviously supported by Acts 2:41. The same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Hence the five thousand, mentioned in Acts 4:4, may include the three... read more

They were probably about the same age (the idea that Peter was some years older than John rests mainly on the pictures which artists have drawn from their imagination, and has no evidence in Scripture), and had been friends from their youth upward. They had been partners as fishermen on the Sea of Galilee (Luke 5:10). They had been sharers in... read more

Acts 3:6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee.Wealth in povertyWhat a remarkable combination of poverty which can give nothing, with power which can do almost anything! “Silver and gold have I none”--then we are ready at once to class him with the men from whom no help is to be expected, with those who hang upon others. The speech, however, does not end there. “Rise up and walk,” says the penniless man. Why, Pilate who was the great man at Jerusalem, or... read more

Second, by a visible heavenly angel directing them boldly to enter its doors, and there preach Jesus, Acts 5:19-20. Both times they were rejected by... read more
