Context — Paul’s Defense to Felix

13Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me. 14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,

15and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

16In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man. 17After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.

2	John 5:28–29	Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
3	1 Thessalonians 4:14–16	For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
4	Revelation 20:12–13	And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

7	1 Corinthians 15:12–27	But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith. In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him. Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

9	Acts 28:20–31	So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.” The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you. But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.” So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets. Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others refused to believe. They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: ‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’ Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!” Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him. Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
10	Matthew 22:31–32	But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you: ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

Acts 24:15 Summary

[The verse Acts 24:15 is saying that Paul believes in a future resurrection, where both good people and bad people will be raised from the dead. This is a hope that is rooted in his Jewish faith, as seen in Daniel 12:2-3, but is also a central part of the Christian message, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:21-22. This means that our actions have consequences, and we will all be held accountable for how we live our lives, as seen in Romans 14:10-12. By putting our faith in God, we can have hope for a future resurrection and eternal life with Him.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 24:15

And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Acts 24:15

Which they themselves also allow; the wiser sort amongst them, the Pharisees, (though bad was the best), and yet they were not for this opinion persecuted by the Sadducees. A resurrection of the dead; the resurrection of the dead is again owned as the chief matter Paul preached upon, and in which all his other doctrines and opinions did centre, it being indeed the foundation of that faith and manners, , of that belief and holy life, which St. Paul preached upon. Both of the first and unjust; that both sorts, even that all such, rise again at the last day, we have assurance given, ,3,29; which was also foretold expressly unto the Jews, , though it hath found so many since amongst them that have denied it.

Trapp's Commentary on Acts 24:15

15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. Ver. 15. And have hope toward God, which themselves also allow] The Jews generally believed no article of the faith more than this, John 12:24; Acts 23:8. The primitive times yielded some that denied it, 1 Corinthians 15:12-19; so do these unhappy times of ours: we must all look to our standing, and get our hearts ballasted with grace (as the bee, when she is to fly against the wind, ballasteth her body with some little stone carried between her feet), that we be not whirled about with every wind of doctrine. A man is to expect, if he live out his days, to be urged to the breach of every branch of the Decalogue, and to be put to it in respect of every article of the creed. Provide for a storm: shipmen in a calm, or at a haven, look to their tacklings: see the ship be well ballasted, victualled, watered, &c.

Ellicott's Commentary on Acts 24:15

(15) Which they themselves also allow . . .—We have the same tact, perhaps also the same sympathy, as in Acts 23:6. He identifies himself, on this point, not only with the Pharisees but with the great bulk of the Jewish people.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Acts 24:15

Verse 15. And have hope toward God, c.] I not only do not hold any thing by which the general creed of this people might be altered, in reference to the present state but, also, I hold nothing different from their belief in reference to a future state; for, if I maintain the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, it is what themselves allow.

Cambridge Bible on Acts 24:15

15. and have (R. V. having) hope … which they themselves also allow] (R. V. look for). Here the Apostle is of course alluding only to the Pharisees among his own people, but he puts them as representatives of the larger part of the nation. The Rev. Ver. renders “which these also themselves look for.” If the Apostle employed the words in that sense he would be turning towards the body of Jews in the court rather than to the Sadducees and their spokesman.that there shall be a resurrection of the dead] The best MSS. give nothing for the last three words. St Paul adheres to the point which had before provoked the anger of Ananias and his party, and they must have been the more irritated because the words of the Apostle declare their opponents, the Pharisees, to be holding the true faith, and imply that such is the general belief of the Jewish people.both of the just and unjust] Speaking in the presence of Felix, the Apostle seems to have chosen words to touch the conscience of the Procurator.

Barnes' Notes on Acts 24:15

And have hope toward God - Having a hope of the resurrection of the dead, which arises from the promises of God. Which they themselves ... - That is, the Pharisees.

Whedon's Commentary on Acts 24:15

15. They themselves—Literally, these themselves, pointing, says Kuinoel, to the Pharisees present, who had come with the Sadducees.
