Acts 13:26-27

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

To you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophet which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. See how easy it is for people to hear the Bible read, and yet to know very little about what it contains. They may...

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Acts 13:42

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. They are earnest hearers who want to hear the same sermon again.
