Acts 4:25 — The Holy Ghost, the Mouth of David, and the Text of Psalm 2

Here the critical text is fuller, explicitly naming the Holy Spirit and calling David ‘our father.’ Scrivener’s shorter syntax connects the relative ‘who’ to the God addressed in verse 24 and still presents David’s mouth as the instrument of Psalm 2.

This long unit contains several small differences and two conspicuous shortenings: ‘gladly’ is absent from the critical form, and ‘to the church’ becomes ‘together’ or ‘to their number.’ Repentance, baptism in Jesus Christ’s name, the gift of the Holy Ghost, apostolic doctrine, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayers remain common ground.
