| all the words of this life--beautiful expression for that Life in the Risen One which was the burden of their preaching! |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
In the temple - In a public and conspicuous place. In this way there would be a most striking exhibition of their boldness; a proof that "God" had delivered them, and a manifestation of their purpose to obey God rather than man.
All the words - All the doctrines. Compare Joh 6:68, "Thou hast the words of eternal life."
Of this life - Pertaining to life, to the eternal life which they taught through the resurrection of Jesus. The word "life" is used sometimes to express "the whole of religion," as opposed to the spiritual "death" of sin. See Joh 1:4; Joh 3:36. Their deliverance from prison was not that they might be idle, and escape to a place of safety. Again they were to engage in the toils and perils which they had just before encountered. God delivers us from dangers sometimes that we may plunge "into" new dangers; he preserves us from one form of calamity that we may be tried in some new furnace of affliction; he calls us to encounter trials simply "because" he demands it, and as an expression of gratitude to him for his gracious interposition. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Stand
Compare Act 2:14; and see on Luk 18:11; and Luk 19:8.
Of this life
The eternal life which Christ revealed. It is a peculiar use of the phrase, which is commonly employed in contrast with the life to come, as Co1 15:19. Compare Joh 6:63, Joh 6:68. Not equivalent to these words of life. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The words of this - That is, these words of life: words which show the way to life everlasting. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| All the words of this life - All the doctrines of life eternal, founded on the word, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. This is another periphrasis for Gospel. Go to the temple - the most public place, and speak to the people - who come there to worship according to the law, the words of this life - the whole doctrine of salvation from sin and death; and show that the law is fulfilled in the sacrifice of Jesus, and that, by his resurrection, he has brought life and immortality to light. |

63 It is [2076] the spirit [4151] that quickeneth [2227]; the flesh [4561] [3756] profiteth [5623] nothing [3762]: the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213], they are [2076] spirit [4151], and [2532] they are [2076] life [2222].
