**Verse 2**
*The Hebrew tongue;* which was their native tongue.

**Verse 3**
*At the feet of Gamaliel;* under the instruction of Gamaliel.

**Verse 4**
*This way;* those believing in this way; that is, the Christians.

**Verse 9**
*Heard not the voice;* understood it not. That they did hear the sound, is stated in the original account of the transaction. ([Acts 9:7](../../../kjv/acts/9/7).)

**Verse 12**
*According to the law;* the Jewish law.

**Verse 14**
*That Just One;* Jesus.

**Verse 16**
*Wash away thy sins.* The water used in baptism has, of course, no actual efficacy in removing sin; and yet baptism is something more than a mere ceremony. Considered as an act by which the soul publicly acknowledges God, and becomes committed to his service, it has a powerful influence in promoting inward purification.

**Verse 22**
*They gave him audience;* they listened to him.--*Unto this word;* his speaking of the Gentiles as the objects of God's favorable regard.

**Verse 24**
*Examined by scourging;* a common mode of extorting confessions in those days, though forbidden in the case of Roman citizens.

**Verse 28**
*This freedom;* the privileges of Roman citizen.--*Free-born;* born in a city, Tarsus, upon which, perhaps, as a city, these privileges had been conferred; or else entitled to them personally through his parents.
