The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:37-43

"Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly." IV. THE CHRIST WHO CAN SAVE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 10:41

That were chosen for chosen, A.V. Peter hero again brings forward the special apostolic office of being witnesses of Christ's resurrection. This constant reference to the testimony of eye-witnesses is an indication of the thoroughly historical character of Christianity, and of the importance of Christian evidences. The new matter which Peter was to bring before Cornelius and his company begins at Acts 10:40 , but with the prefatory remarks in Acts 10:39 , which both attest the truth of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 10:41

Not to all the people - Not to the nation at large, for this was not necessary in order to establish the truth of his resurrection. He, however, showed himself to many persons. See the Harmony of the Accounts of the Resurrection of Jesus.Chosen of God - Appointed by God, or set apart by his authority through Jesus Christ.Who did eat and drink ... - And by doing this he furnished the clearest possible proof that he was truly risen; that they were not deceived by an illusion of the imagination or... read more

And we His apostles, of whom I have the honour and happiness to be one; are witnesses of all things which he did Having been present when he did them; both in the land of the Jews In all parts of Judea; and particularly in Jerusalem Their capital city; for we attended him in all the progress which he made, beholding with astonishment his miracles, and hearing with delight his discourses; whom Nevertheless, this unbelieving and ungrateful people were so far from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 10:1-48

European converts (10:1-48)In the Roman regiment based in Caesarea was a centurion named Cornelius, a man who was such a sincere God-fearer that all his household followed his faith. In response to his expressions of faith and acts of kindness, God promised to send Peter to tell him the good news of Jesus Christ by which he could be saved (10:1-8; cf. 11:14).First, however, God wanted to teach Peter certain lessons. God gave him a vision to show him that the old Jewish food laws were of no... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 10:41

Acts 10:41. Not to all the people, &c.— It has frequently been asked, Why Christ did not shew himself to all the people, but to his disciples only? Now it may be sufficient to reply, that where there are witnesses enough, no judge or jury complains for want of more; and therefore, if the witnesses that we have for the resurrection are sufficient, it is no objection that we have not others, or more. If three credible men attest a will, which are asmany as the law requires, would any body ask... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:34-43

Peter’s message to Cornelius 10:34-43Peter’s sermon on this occasion is the first sermon in Acts addressed to a Gentile audience (cf. Acts 14:15-17; Acts 17:22-31). It is quite similar to the ones Peter preached in Acts 2:14-40 and Acts 3:11-26 except that this one has more information about Jesus’ pre-crucifixion ministry. This emphasis was appropriate since Peter was addressing Gentiles who would have known less about Jesus’ ministry than the Jews did. Also this speech contains no quotations... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:40-41

In contrast to man’s treatment of Jesus, God raised Him from the grave after three days (cf. Acts 17:31). Jesus also appeared to selected individuals whom God chose to be witnesses of His resurrection. Among these was Peter, who even ate and drank with the risen Lord, proof that He really was alive."The resurrection appearances were not made to the people at large. The reason appears to have been that those who saw Jesus were constituted to act as witnesses to the many people who could not see... read more
