Acts 3:25-26Ye are the children of the prophets and of the covenant.The children of the covenant, the Saviour’s first careI.

Acts 3:26Unto you first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to bless you.Sent to bless youI. God sent Jesus to bless us. We should have thought that after the Jews had slain the prophets, God would have had no more to do with them; or that if He sent His own Son, it would be to take vengeance upon them.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 3:12-26

2. Peter’s Third Speech that in Solomon’s Porch , Acts 3:12-26 . Peter promptly avails himself, in this bold speech, (made perhaps from some elevated platform or position in the porch,) of the great excitement to base Christ upon this miracle. Do you ask what this miracle means? It declares that your Messiah, by whose power it was alone done, has come to you, even He whom you have slain, Acts 3:13-18. The momentous inference is, that you must repent of your crime against him and submit... read more
