This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 2:37. Κατενύγησαν, they were stung with compunction) So the LXX. render ויתעצבו κατενύγησαν, the men were stung with grief.-εἶπον, they said) The apostles used not to make an end of speaking before that their hearers had shown how they were affected. If the hearers in our day were to signify on the spot what were their feelings at heart, the edification of all would be much more sure and abundant.-τοὺς λοιποὺς, the rest) They perceived that the cause of the apostles was one joint and common cause.-[τί ποιήσωμεν; what shall we do?) The beginning of true conversion is made, when men have come to this question.-V. g.]-ἄνδρες ἀδελφοὶ, men brethren) They had not so spoken before.
