Context of Acts 10:43

41He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” 44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles.

Commentaries on Acts 10:43

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 43To him give all the prophets witness - See Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 52:7; Isaiah 53:5, Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 59:20; Jeremiah 31:34; Daniel 9:24; Micah 7:18, etc.; and Zechariah 13:1.

The whole message and purpose of Scripture center on Christ (see Luke 24:25–27, 44–47; John 5:39). The main point of their message was that everyone who believes in Jesus will have sins forgiven through his name (see Luke 24:47).Read the comment
