Acts 10:41

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.”

Barnes' Notes

<< Acts 10:40

Acts 10:42 >>

Not to all the people - Not to the nation at large, for this was not necessary in order to establish the truth of his resurrection. He, however, showed himself to many persons. See the Harmony of the Accounts of the Resurrection of Jesus.

Chosen of God - Appointed by God, or set apart by his authority through Jesus Christ.

Who did eat and drink ... - And by doing this he furnished the clearest possible proof that he was truly risen; that they were not deceived by an illusion of the imagination or by a phantom. Compare John 21:12-13.
