Acts 2:31 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. He, seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ - not that Peter means to say that David was conscious of not speaking in this psalm of Christ's resurrection and not his own; but that the prophetic spirit in David, knowing all that was to come to pass, so directed the thoughts and shaped the language of David, that in point of fact he "spake of the resurrection of Christ,"

That his soul was not left, [not kateleifthee (G2641), as in the Received Text, which has next to no support, but engkateleifthee (G1459) and oute (G3777) ... oute (G3777)] in hell (or the disembodied state),

Neither his flesh did see corruption (in the grave).

Acts 2:31
