SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:16

Varones hermanos, convino que se cumpliese la Escritura, la cual dijo antes el Espíritu Santo por la boca de David, acerca de Judas, que fue guía de los que prendieron a Jess;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 1:16

Verse 16. The Holy Ghost by the mouth of David] Thus is a strong attestation to the Divine inspiration of the book of Psalms. They were dictated by the Holy Spirit, and spoken by the mouth of David.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. Men and brethren , etc.] Which is said not so much by Peter to express his modesty, and humility, and his brotherly love; or on account of the spiritual relation that subsisted between him and the persons he speaks to, as it was a common form used in addresses; (see Acts 7:2, 15:7, 22:1, 23:1) it should seem, that the women, were not reckoned into the number of the hundred and twenty here addressed; and the Syriac version calls that number, the number of men, unless they are supposed to be included in them: this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled ; or must needs be fulfilled: referring either to ( Psalm 41:9) or rather to the passages after cited out of ( Psalm 69:25, 109:8). There was a necessity of the fulfilling of it, consistent with the prescience of God, his counsel, and decree, and the veracity of the Scripture; which necessity does not at all excuse the sin of Judas, who acted freely from the wickedness of his own heart, and not from any force that this laid upon him: and the apostle might observe this also, to make the minds of the disciples easy, under this awful providence, since it was no other than what was predicted: and which the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David, spake before ; even many hundreds of years before the event; and which shows the omniscience, and so the deity of the Holy Ghost, and the divine authority of Davids Psalms; as well as the honour that was put upon him to be the instrument by which the Holy Ghost speaks, and to be his amanuensis: the particular referred to, is, concerning Judas; who is sometimes called Iscariot, to distinguish him from another apostle of the same name; and what is hereafter said sufficiently does that; or concerning that Judas , as the Syriac version renders it: which was a guide to them that took Jesus ; to the band of soldiers and officers, who came with swords and staves, as to take a thief, or a robber; before these Judas went and showed them, not only the place where he was, but gave them a sign by which they should know him, and also advice to take him and hold him fast, and lead him away safely; so that he was not only a guide as to the way, but was a director, and conductor, and manager of the whole affair. And it may be observed, that though Peter did not conceal, but declares the sin of Judas; yet not in a rough manner, aggravating it, but with much softness and tenderness; though with no design to lessen it, as appears by what follows, and which may be instructive to us in speaking of other mens sins.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-26 - The great thing the apostles were to attest to the world, was, Christ' resurrection; for that was the great proof of his being the Messiah and the foundation of our hope in him. The apostles were ordained, no to wordly dignity and dominion, but to preach Christ, and the power of his resurrection. An appeal was made to God; "Thou, Lord, who knowes the hearts of all men," which we do not; and better than they know their own. It is fit that God should choose his own servants; and s far as he, by the disposals of his providence, or the gifts of his Spirit, shows whom he was chosen, or what he has chosen for us, we ought to fall in with his will. Let us own his hand in the determinin everything which befalls us, especially in those by which any trust ma be committed to us __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

16. Men and brethren (andrev adelfoi). Lit., men, brothers.

Brother-men. More dignified and solemn than the simple brethren.

This scripture. The best texts substitute the. See on Mark xii. 10.

The Holy Ghost (to Pneuma to %Agion). Lit., The Spirit, the Holy.

Guide. See on lead, Luke vi. 39.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

1:16 {Brethren} (andres adelfoi). Literally, men, brethren or brother men. More dignified and respectful than just "brethren." Demosthenes sometimes said andres aqenaioi. Cf. our "gentlemen and fellow-citizens." Women are included in this address though andres refers only to men. {It was needful} (edei). Imperfect tense of the impersonal dei with the infinitive clause (first aorist passive) and the accusative of general reference as a loose subject. Peter here assumes that Jesus is the Messiah and finds scripture illustrative of the treachery of Judas. He applies it to Judas and quotes the two passages in verse #20 (#Ps 69:25; 109:8). The Holy Spirit has not yet come upon them, but Peter feels moved to interpret the situation. He feels that his mind is opened by Jesus (#Lu 24:45). It is a logical, not a moral, necessity that Peter points out. Peter here claims the Holy Spirit as speaking in the scriptures as he does in #2Pe 1:21. His description of Judas as "guide" (hodegou) to those who seized (sullabousin) Jesus is that of the base traitor that he was. this very verb occurs in #Lu 22:54 of the arrest of Jesus.
