‏ Acts 10:36-43

Summary for Acts 10:36-43: 10:36-43 ^a Peter repeatedly underscores the importance of the apostolic witnesses to the message of Good News. The apostles ate and drank with Jesus (see Luke 24:41-43 ^b) and were eyewitnesses of his resurrection, so they could attest that he had conquered death (see Acts 3:15 ^c; 4:33 ^d; 13:30-31 ^e). The original apostles were chosen in advance to be his witnesses (see 1:12-26 ^f); gradually, others such as Paul and Barnabas carried on this powerful preaching and teaching in the name of Jesus Christ (9:15 ^g; 14:1-3 ^h; 26:16 ⁱ).
10:43 ^j Based on what they had seen and heard (10:39-42 ^k), the apostles could proclaim that Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the one all the prophets testified about. The whole plan of the Scriptures is profoundly centered in Christ (see Luke 24:25-27 ^l, 44-47 ^m; John 5:39 ⁿ).

• The major point of their message was that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name (see Luke 24:47 ^o).
