Preaching to Cornelius’ Household

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.  
40 Him aGod raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,  
41 anot to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us bwho ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  
42 And aHe commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify bthat it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge cof the living and the dead.  
43 aTo Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, bwhoever believes in Him will receive cremission of sins.”

Acts 10:36-38

the word . . . sent unto the children of Israel—for to them (he would have them distinctly know) the Gospel was first preached, even as the facts of it took place on the special theater of the ancient economy.

preaching peace by Jesus Christ—the glorious sum of all Gospel truth (I Corinthians 1:20-22).

he is Lord of all—exalted to embrace under the canopy of His peace, Jew and Gentile alike, whom the blood of His Cross had cemented into one reconciled and accepted family of God (Ephesians 2:13-18).
