Persecution for Well-Doing
Acts 4:3-4
And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold to the next day: for it was now eventide.…


Sad, that so good news should find so bad entertainment! but happy for some, that as it was raised for so good a Word (Matthew 13:21), so occasioned by so good a deed done to an impotent man. Such may ever our sufferings be, that if a black shadow must needs follow us, it may be only because we walk in the light; and that if it prove our lot to hear and fare ill, it may be for doing well (1 Peter 3:17; 1 Peter 4:16; John 10:32).

(A. Tuckney, D. D.)
