This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Act 13:39. Ὧι) ἀπὸ is to be repeated from what immediately goes before.-οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε, ye could not) Not merely, ye cannot, but ye never could, although ye tried it.-νόμῳ) by the law, which ye so revere: ver.15. We ought not to suppose that the division of the law into the moral and ceremonial was as familiar to the Jews as it is to us in the present day, since at that time both flourished together. Wherefore this passage treats of the whole law. Moses is Moses, whether he enjoins concerning rites or concerning morals: and on the other hand, Christ is Christ.-ἐν τούτῳ, in Him) In antithesis to the law of Moses.-πᾶς, every one) whether having, or not having the law: whether Jew or Gentile; for some of the latter were present: Act 13:42.
