"The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:" — Acts 4:26 (ASV)
And against his Christ.—The question whether the word “Christ” should be used as a proper name, or translated, is commonly answered by accepting the former alternative. Here, perhaps, to maintain the connection with the Psalm and with the verb in the next verse, it would be better to say, “against His Anointed.” The “Lord” stands, of course, for the Supreme Deity of the Father.
