Context of Acts 13:24
22And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will. 23Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus; when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose. 26Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.

The bare reading of the Scriptures in public assemblies is not enough; they should be expounded, and the people exhorted out of them.

John was a humble servant who prepared the way for the one whose coming he announced.Read the comment

His personal name "Jesus" is emphatically added, as designed to express that very character. (See on Mt 1:21).Read the comment
