Acts 2:22-33

II. Peter’s second answer to the question of Acts 2:12: This effusion is shed forth from the crucified and risen Jesus, Acts 2:22-33.

Jesus, wickedly slain, has risen, (Acts 2:22-24,) as is proved by David’s prediction, (Acts 2:25-28,) as interpreted by Peter, (Acts 2:29-31,) and confirmed by witnesses, Acts 2:32. Therefore from the risen and ascended Jesus this effusion is shed forth. Which is the full answer to the question.

Sustained now, both by the Pentecostal miracle and its confirmation by prophecy, Peter is emboldened to assert and maintain by further prophecy the great miracle which proves Christianity true the resurrection of Jesus and that resurrection enables him to explain the Pentecostal miracle.
