John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:34

Then Peter opened his mouth ,.... See Gill on Acts 8:35 . And said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons ; which is to be understood, not of the substances of men, but of the outward state and condition, circumstances and qualities of men; he respects the proper persons of men themselves, but not because of their outward appearances; he does not prefer or despise men, because of their being of this or the other nation, as Jews or Gentiles; or because they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:35

But in every nation ,.... In any Gentile nation in the Roman empire, and in any part, even in Scythia, or in the most uncultivated parts of the universe, as well as in Judea: he that feareth him ; God, not with a slavish fear, or with the fear of punishment to be inflicted by him, with a fear of hell and damnation, with which Cain, Pharaoh, Judas, and even the devils themselves have feared him; nor with an hypocritical fear; but with a godly filial fear; which is a new covenant blessing,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:36

The word which God sent unto the children of Israel ,.... Now the apostle enters on his sermon or discourse, of which the above were only a preface, or an introduction; and his sense is, that the doctrine which he was now about to preach to them, was the doctrine of the Gospel; which it pleased God, of his infinite wisdom and rich grace, to send first to the people of the Jews, by the ministry of the apostles: this word is sometimes called the word of God, of which he is the author; and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:37

The word I say you know ,.... By common fame and report, which had for some years past been published by John, Christ, and his apostles, in Judea and Galilee; especially some parts of it, or points in it, such as the apostle hereafter mentions must have reached their ears: Which was published throughout all Judea ; by Christ, his twelve apostles, and seventy disciples; who were sent out by him into all places, where he himself would come: and began from Galilee, after the baptism... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:38

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth ,.... And so declared him to be the Messiah, that was promised to the Jews, and expected by them; the anointed prophet, priest, and King; who because his parents lived at Nazareth, and he was educated there, and there he chiefly preached and wrought his miracles, he was by way of contempt called Jesus of Nazareth: and him God anointed, with the Holy Ghost and with power ; with the gifts and graces of the Spirit, without measure; signified by the descent... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:39

And we are witnesses of all things ,.... That is, Peter, and the rest of the apostles, were witnesses, even eyewitnesses, of Christ's going about from place to place, and of the good he did every where, and of the miracles which he wrought; and even of every thing which he did both in the land of the Jews ; which takes in not only Judea, but Galilee, and beyond Jordan; and in Jerusalem ; the metropolis of Judea: whom they slew and hanged on a tree ; whom the Jews put to death;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:40

Him God raised up the third day ,.... According to the Scriptures, particularly Hosea 6:2 . The resurrection, of Christ, though it is sometimes ascribed to himself, as God, whereby he was declared to be the Son of God, yet generally to God the Father, as here: and showed him openly ; in a glorious body, and yet numerically the same he before lived and suffered in, so as to be heard, seen, and handled; by which full proof was given of the truth of his resurrection, in which he appeared... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:41

Not to all the people ,.... Of the Jews, who crucified him; nor to the whole body of the Christians, though at one time to a large number, even five hundred brethren at once: but unto witnesses chosen before of God ; by Christ himself, who is God: even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead ; namely, to the apostles, with whom he familiarly conversed by times, for the space of forty days after his resurrection; and Beza's most ancient copy; and the Ethiopic... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:42

And he commanded us, to preach unto the people ,.... Not only of the Jews, but of the Gentiles; to all nations, to the whole world, and every creature; for the apostle seems to refer to the commission given to him, and the rest of the apostles, after Christ's resurrection, Matthew 28:19 . And to testify that it is he which was ordained of God, to be the Judge of quick and dead : the preaching of the Gospel is a testification of Christ, or a bearing a testimony for him; and among the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:43

To him give all the prophets witness ,.... As David, Psalm 32:1 Daniel 9:9 that through his name, whosoever believeth in him, shall receive the remission of sins ; the meaning is, that whoever believes in Christ with a right and true faith, with the heart, he shall receive, not as what his faith procures or deserves, but as a gift of God's grace, the free and full forgiveness of his sins, through Christ; through the effusion of his blood, and the virtue of his sacrifice. Christ was... read more
