Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 10:39
And we are witnesses - We who are apostles. See the notes on Luke 24:48.In the land of the Jews - In the country of Judea.Whom they slew ... - Our translation would seem to imply that there were two separate acts - first executing him, and then suspending him. But this is neither according to truth nor to the Greek text. The original is simply, “whom they put to death, suspending him on a tree.”On a tree - On a cross. See the notes on Acts 5:30. 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 10:39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.The scandal of the cross was emphasized by the words `hanging him on a tree'; but, in the apostolic preaching of that event, it is clear that they also grasped the glory of it: that "by his stripes" we are healed, and that "God laid on him" the iniquity of us all. 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 10:39
The apostles regularly mentioned that they were eye-witnesses of Jesus’ ministry in their preaching (Acts 2:32; Acts 3:15; Acts 5:32; Acts 10:41; Acts 13:30-31). This had tremendous persuasive appeal to their hearers. Peter divided Jesus’ acts into those that He performed in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, their capital city. Those who put Jesus to death were the Jews (Acts 3:15; Acts 4:10; Acts 5:30; Acts 7:52) and the Gentiles (Acts 4:27). Here Peter referred generally to all those... read more
