“For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.”
Acts 4:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 4:28
The prayer acknowledges God's sovereignty: 'to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.' The Greek 'proorisen' (determined) indicates predestination - God's eternal decree includes evil actions (crucifixion, persecution) without causing moral guilt. This paradox - God's sovereign control and human responsibility coexisting - distinguishes Reformed theology. The phrase 'thy hand' (power) and 'thy counsel' (plan) emphasizes both capability and intention.
