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 salvación, porque no hay otro nombre bajo el cielo dado a los hombres, en el cual podamos ser salvos.

13 Al ver la confianza de Pedro y de Juan, y dándose cuenta de que eran hombres sin letras y sin preparación, se maravillaban, y reconocían que ellos habían estado con Jesús.

14 Y viendo junto a ellos de pie al hombre que había sido sanado, no tenían nada que decir en contra.

15 Pero habiéndoles ordenado salir fuera del concilio, deliberaban entre sí,

16 diciendo: ¿Qué haremos con estos hombres? Porque el hecho de que un milagro notable ha sido realizado por medio de ellos es evidente a todos los que viven en Jerusalén, y no podemos negarlo.
