Brothers The term "Brothers" here is translated from the Greek word "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi), which can mean brothers in a familial sense or more broadly as fellow believers. In the context of the early church, it signifies the close-knit community of believers who are united in faith and purpose. This term underscores the familial bond that exists among Christians, emphasizing the unity and love that should characterize the body of Christ. Historically, this reflects the early Christian community's understanding of themselves as a new family in Christ, transcending traditional social and ethnic boundaries. the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus Which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake . . .--We have here, obviously, the firstfruits of the new method of interpretation in which the Apostles had been instructed (Luke 24:27; Luke 24:45). They had already been taught that the Holy Spirit which their Lord had promised to them had before spoken by the prophets. The recurrence of the same mode of speech in the "holy men of God who spake as they were moved (literally, borne along) by the Holy Ghost," in 2Peter 1:21, is, as far as it goes, evidence in favour of the genuineness of that Epistle. . . . Verse 16. - Brethren, it teas needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled for men and brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, A.V.; spake before by the mouth of David for by the mouth of David spake before, A.V. It was needful, etc. So our Lord declared, "The Scriptures cannot be broken" (John 10:35); and "All things must be fulfilled which were written" ere. (Luke 24:25-27, 44-46). It is most important to our Christian integrity that we should view the Scriptures in the same light as our Lord and his apostles did, as containing real prophecies, spoken by the Holy Ghost. (Compare the manner in which the sixty-ninth psalm is here quoted with that of Hebrews 3:7.) So the Creed, "I believe in the Holy Ghost .... who spake by the prophets" (comp. Acts 4:25; Acts 28:25). Who was guide, etc. If St. Peter had only been addressing his brother apostles, who were well acquainted with the treachery of Judas, it would scarcely have been natural to introduce these words; they would have seemed rather to be explanatory words added by the historian. But the circumstances might be very imperfectly known to many of the hundred and twenty brethren assembled on this occasion; and if so, the reference to Judas's treachery would not be out of place in St. Peter's mouth.Parallel Commentaries ...
