The Way of Salvation August 15, 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12; Acts 4:12 . It is a very happy circumstance when the servants of God are able to turn everything to account in their ministry.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 4:1-37

Acts 4:1 . The captain of the temple was the captain of the watch, and saw that the levites performed their duty day and night. He beat them and set fire to their garments, if he found them asleep on their post. Hence the phrase, Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments. Revelation 16:15. Acts 4:3 .

He therein follows the admirable custom of his great Lord and Master, who... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 4:12

12. Salvation in any other As the building cannot be saved without the corner stone, so the world cannot be saved without this name. Be saved From the fact that the Greek word for saved is applied to the restoring of the lame-born, some commentators have thought that the salvation here named must also be of a temporal nature.
