Contextual Overview

5 And it came to passe on the morowe, that their rulers, and elders, & scribes, 6 And Annas the chiefe priest, and Caiaphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kynrede of the hye priestes, were gathered together at Hierusalem. 7 And when they had set them before them, they asked: by what power, or in what name haue ye done this? 8 Then Peter, full of the holy ghost, sayde vnto them: Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 9 If we this day be examined of the good deede done to the sicke man, by what meanes he is made whole: 10 Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Christe of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raysed agayne from the dead: euen by hym doth this man stande here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is the head of the corner: 12 Neither is there saluation in any other. For among men vnder heauen, there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued. 13 Nowe when they sawe the boldnesse of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned and lay men, they marueyled, and they knewe them that they had ben with Iesu: 14 And beholdyng also the man which was healed, standyng with them, they coulde not say agaynst it,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If we this day be examined of the good deed,.... Or "seeing" we are; for it was not a matter of doubt, but a clear case, that they were brought into court, and were passing under an examination, about the cure of the lame man; which the apostle rightly calls a

good deed, it being done in faith, and to the glory of God, and for the good of the man; and hereby tacitly suggests, that they were dealt very hardly with, to be seized and kept in custody, and be called in question, for doing an action so beneficent and kind, as this was, which was

done to the impotent man; who could not help himself, nor get his bread any other way, than by begging:

by what means he is made whole; restored to perfect health, and the proper use of his limbs; that is, by what power, and in what name this was done; the answer is ready, and it is as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If we this day - If as is the fact; or since we are thus examined.

Examined - Questioned; if the purpose is to institute an inquiry into this case, or since it is the purpose to institute such an inquiry.

The good deed - The act of benevolence; the benefit conferred on an infirm man. He assumes that it was undeniable that the deed had been done.

To the impotent man - To this man who was infirm or lame. The man was then present, Acts 4:10, Acts 4:14. He may have been arrested with the apostles; or he may have been present as a spectator; or, as Neander supposes, he may have been summoned as a witness.

By what means - This was the real point of the inquiry. The fact that he had been made whole was not denied. The only question was whether it had been done by the authority and power of Jesus of Nazareth, as Peter declared it to be, Acts 3:6, Acts 3:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 4:9. The good deed done — επι ευεργεσια, The benefit he has received in being restored to perfect soundness.
