Note 2 at Ac 4:26: In this prayer, the disciples were pointing out one of the most important things to remember when persecution comes: The persecution was not really against them, but against the Lord.

Note 3 at Ac 4:26: This scripture provides a good commentary on the word "Christ." The terminology used in the Old Testament passage being quoted (Ps 2:2) says, "against his anointed," while this passage says, "against his Christ." Therefore, even a person who didn't have access to the original Greek could see that "Christ" means "anointed," since these terms were used interchangeably (see note 2 at Mt 16:16).
