<p>4:16 <em>What shall we do to these men?</em>- It is Luke (and not the other evangelists) who earlier records how the Jewish leadership held such councils and said the same words about the Lord Jesus (Lk. 6:11; 19:48). Again and again, he is making the point- that in our preaching of the Gospel, we find the situations and experiences of our Lord repeating in our lives. We are thereby in Him, and He in and with us.</p><p><em>For indeed a notable miracle has been done through them</em>- True, legitimate Holy Spirit miracles cannot be denied even by the cynical critics of Christianity. The claims to perform them today sadly and pathetically fail this test; for the claimed miracles can easily be denied and are not admitted as &quot;notable&quot; even by those looking at them with open minds. But this legitimate miracle could not be denied even by the critics, and they even admitted so themselves.</p><p><em>It is obvious to all</em>- The Greek <em>phaneroo</em> is usually used in the sense of 'manifestation'. Paul uses the same words in saying that through his witness in prison, the Gospel had been made manifest to all (Phil. 1:13). This is one of many examples of where rabbi Paul saw himself as following the steps and leading of illiterate fisherman Peter.</p><p><em>All that dwell in Jerusalem</em>- A specific reference to how 3000 of the 'dwellers in Jerusalem' had been baptized by Peter on Pentecost.</p><p><em>And we cannot deny it</em>- See on <em>A notable miracle</em>. Miracles of themselves can be seen and recognized but will not inevitably persuade people to believe.</p>
