Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 10:34-43

We have here Peter's sermon preached to Cornelius and his friends: that is, an abstract or summary of it; for we have reason to think that he did with many other words testify and exhort to this purport. It is intimated that he expressed himself with a great deal of solemnity and gravity, but with freedom and copiousness, in that phrase, he opened his mouth, and spoke, Acts 10:34. O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, saith Paul, 2 Cor. 6:11. ?You shall find us communicative, if we but... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 10:44-48

We have here the issue and effect of Peter's sermon to Cornelius and his friends. He did not labour in vain among them, but they were all brought home to Christ. Here we have, I. God's owning Peter's word, by conferring the Holy Ghost upon the hearers of it, and immediately upon the hearing of it (Acts 10:44): While Peter was yet speaking these words, and perhaps designed to say more, he was happily superseded by visible indications that the Holy Ghost, even in his miraculous gifts and powers,... read more

10:34-43 So Peter opened his mouth and said, "In truth I have come to understand that God has no favourites; but that in every nation he who fears him and acts righteously is acceptable to him. As for the word which God sent to the sons of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ--this is he who is Lord of all you all know the affair that happened all over Judaea, after the baptism which John preached--you know about Jesus of Nazareth, about how God anointed him with the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 10:44-48

10:44-48 When Peter was still saying these things the Holy Spirit fell upon those who were listening to his word. All the Jewish believers who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles too, for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter said, "Can anyone stop water being brought? Can anyone stop those who have received the Holy Spirit, as we too received him, from being baptized?" And he ordered them to be... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 10:44

While Peter yet spake these words ,.... As he was thus discoursing concerning Christ, his person, his miracles, his death and resurrection, and the efficacy of his blood for pardon, before he had done speaking, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word . This is not to be understood of the operations of the Spirit of God upon the souls of men, under the ministry of the word; though true it is, that the Spirit of God attends the preaching of thee Gospel, and not only qualifies... read more
