Acts 10:34 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 10:34

32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.¹ When he comes, he will speak to you.’

33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ^a“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

35 But ^ain every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is ^baccepted by Him.

36 The word which God sent to the¹ children of Israel, ^apreaching peace through Jesus Christ—^bHe is Lord of all—

37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and ^abegan from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

38 how ^aGod anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who ^bwent about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, ^cfor God was with Him.

39 And we are ^awitnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom¹ they ^bkilled by hanging on a tree.

Acts 10:34-35

Peter opened his mouth—(See on Matthew 5:2).

Of a truth I perceive—that is, "I have it now demonstrated before mine eyes."

that God is no respecter of persons—Not, "I see there is no capricious favoritism with God," for Peter would never imagine such a thing; but (as the next clause shows), "I see that God has respect only to personal character and state in the acceptance of men, national and ecclesiastical distinctions being of no account."
