With a few strokes of his pen, Luke had in the preceding verses presented an accurate picture of the life and activities of the early Christian Church. Peacefully and undisturbed by the enemies of Christ, the apostles went about their daily duty of preaching and performing wonders and signs. In chapter 3 Luke singles out one of these miracles, which gave to two of the apostles a special opportunity to proclaim the Gospel before a vast assembly and which was the occasion for the :lh-st open opposition on the part of the leaders of the people, chap. 4:, 1. As in his entire book, Luke here shows his mastery in vivid and exact description. We have here a word-picture, painted wi th marvelous skill by a master artist. The closer we study this passage, the more vividly will the whole scene be reenacted before our eyes. Now, Peter and John went up together into the TempZ0 at the hour of prayer, being the ninth ho~i,r, v. 1. Peter and John undoubtedly were friends before they had met Jesus, but their friendship had grown the more intimate and tender, it had been sanctified and hallowed, ever since they had found in Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, John 1, 29 f. These two friends had been granted special honors by their Lord; cf. Mark 5,37; 9,2. In the solemn hours preceding the death of their beloved Master their hearts had become knitted together still closer, especially since again the Lord, perhaps in recognition of their loyal friendship, had assigned to them special duties and granted them special privileges, Mark 13, 3; Luke 22, 8; John 13, 23. 24:; Mark 14:, 33; cf. also John 18, 16. After the resurrection they remained united in loyal friendship, John 20,1-10; 21,2.7.20.21. These two inseparable friends "went up together into the Temple," ascended the Temple hill, which was the highest of the hills on which Jerusalem was built. With them went invisibly their mutual Friend, Jesus, Matt. 18,20 and 28,20, leading their steps, so shaping events as to give them an opportunity to bring physical and spiritual health and happiness to a poor unfortunate and to break the Bread of Life to a large assembly of fellow-men. It was the hour of prayer that called them into the Temple, the ninth hour, about three o'clock in
