This was remarkably fulfilled in Peter, and John, and in Stephen, Ac 4:13<\/span>. The first word, “gainsay”, is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions.<\/p>\n Your adversaries <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>).

The inward faculty of thought, the outward power of uttering thought in words, should both be given. The words are not without their importance as bearing on the supposed distinction between verbal inspiration and that which is confined to thoughts. So far as it goes, it is against that distinction. And indeed, useful as it may seem in theory, as meeting some of the difficulties, real or supposed, which attach to the theory of verbal inspiration, it seems clear, even on purely psychological grounds, that, as men think through the medium of language, the inspiration which extends to thoughts must extend also, and under the same laws and conditions, to the words in which they are expressed. What those laws and conditions are is a wider question, on which this is not the place to enter. The answer is to be found in a reverential and careful induction from the facts which the phenomena of inspiration present to us.<\/p>\n Adversaries.<\/strong>Another favourite word of St. Pauls (1Co. 16:9<\/span>; Php. 1:28<\/span>, et al.<\/em>),<\/em> and used by no other writer in the New Testament except St. Luke.<\/p>\n 15<\/strong>. <\/strong> A mouth <\/em> to utter and wisdom <\/em> in the matter of utterance.<\/p>\n Luk 21:15<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Which all your adversaries shall not, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> “I will suggest to you such sentiments, and enable you to deliver them with such eloquence, that your defences shall be unanswerable; and your adversaries shall be struck with them, especially when they find by your manner that you have spoken them without premeditation.” Of the completion of this promise we have evident examples in the defences made by the proto-martyr St. Stephen, and by St. Paul, especially before king Agrippa, and the Roman governors. But there is no need to insist upon particulars; the prevalency of the gospel, wherever it reached, demonstrates, beyond all doubt, that the defences made by the preachers thereof were unanswerable.
