Acts 4:27

for of. truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

'FOR OF. TRUTH'-The apostles now declare that what had happened at Jerusalem was the fulfillment of Psalms 2:1.

'WHO THOU DIDST ANOINT'- Acts 10:38; Luke 4:18; Isaiah 2:1.

'BOTH HEROD AND PONTIUS PILATE'-The "kings and rulers" mentioned in the Psalm (Luke 23:7 ff). 'Luke is the only Gospel writer who records the part taken by Herod (Antipas) in conjunction with Pilate in the condemnation of Jesus.' (Reese p. 189)

'WITH THE GENTILES AND THE PEOPLES OF ISRAEL'-the other groups mentioned in the Psalm, including the soldiers that mocked and crucified Him, and the Jewish council and mob that cried out for Him to be put to death.
