Acts 4:10

4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ ¹  the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands before you healthy.

Acts 4:27

4:27 “For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together in this city against ²  your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, ³ 

Acts 3:6

3:6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, ⁴  but what I do have I give you. In the name ⁵  of Jesus Christ ⁶  the Nazarene, stand up and ⁷  walk!”

Acts 3:16

3:16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ ⁸  name, ⁹  his very name has made this man – whom you see and know – strong. The ¹⁰  faith that is through Jesus ¹¹  has given him this complete health in the presence ¹²  of you all.

¹ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

² sn The application of Ps 2:1-2 is that Jews and Gentiles are opposing Jesus. The surprise of the application is that Jews are now found among the enemies of God’s plan.

³ sn A wordplay on “Christ,” v. 26, which means “one who has been anointed.”

⁴ tn Or “I have no money.” L&N 6.69 classifies the expression ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον (argurion kai crusion) as an idiom that is a generic expression for currency, thus “money.”

⁵ sn In the name. Note the authority in the name of Jesus the Messiah. His presence and power are at work for the man. The reference to “the name” is not like a magical incantation, but is designed to indicate the agent who performs the healing. The theme is quite frequent in Acts (2:38 plus 21 other times).

⁶ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

⁷ tc The words “stand up and” (ἔγειρε καί, egeire kai) are not in a few mss (א B D sa), but are included in A C E Ψ 095 33 1739 Ï lat sy mae bo. The external testimony is thus fairly evenly divided, with few but important representatives of the Alexandrian and Western texttypes supporting the shorter reading. Internally, the words look like a standard scribal emendation, and may have been motivated by other healing passages where Jesus gave a similar double command (cf. Matt 9:5; Mark 2:9, [11]; Luke 5:23; [6:8]; John 5:8). On the other hand, there is some motivation for deleting ἔγειρε καί here, namely, unlike Jesus’ healing miracles, Peter raises (ἤγειρεν, hgeiren) the man to his feet (v. 7) rather than the man rising on his own. In light of the scribal tendency to harmonize, especially in immediate context, the longer reading is slightly preferred.

⁸ tn Grk “in his name”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁹ sn Here is another example of appeal to the person by mentioning the name. See the note on the word name in 3:6.

¹⁰ tn Grk “see and know, and the faith.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation and καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated.

¹¹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹² tn Or “in full view.”
