Acts 9:20

ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς publicly in the Jewish Assemblies: οὐκ ᾐσχύνετο (Chrys.). ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ : only here in Acts. As the preaching was in the synagogue the term would be used in its Messianic sense (cf. John 1:49), according to the early Messianic interpretation of Psalms 2:7; cf. Acts 13:33 and St. Paul's reference to the Psalm in another address to Jews, in the Pisidian Antioch. For the use of the term as applied to the Messiah by the Jews see further Book of Enoch, cv., 2, and Dr. Charles' note.
