Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 4:2

"being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead." — Acts 4:2 (ASV)

Being grieved.—The verb is one which expresses something like an intensity of trouble and vexation. (Compare to Acts 16:18.)

Preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.—Literally, preached in Jesus—that is, in this as the crucial instance in which the resurrection of the dead had been made manifest. (Compare to the close union of Jesus and the resurrection in Acts 17:18.)
