Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
The God of Abraham, etc.—(See on Acts 2:22; Acts 2:36).
hath glorified his Son Jesus—rather, "his Servant Jesus," as the same word is rendered in Matthew 12:18, but in that high sense in which Isaiah applies it always to Messiah (Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 49:6; Isaiah 52:13; Isaiah 53:11). When "Son" is intended a different word is used.
whom ye delivered up, etc.—With what heroic courage does Peter here charge his auditors with the heaviest of all conceivable crimes, and with what terrific strength of language are these charges clothed!
why marvel at this?—For miracles are marvels only in relation to the limited powers of man.
as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk—Neither the might nor the merit of the cure are due to us, mere agents of Him whom we preach.
