Compare all
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.”  

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, athe Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.  
45 aAnd1 those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, bbecause the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

Acts 10:42

And he commanded us to preach - By thus assuring them that Jesus Christ was appointed to judge the world, he at once showed them the necessity of subjection to him, that they might stand in the day of his appearing.

The Judge of quick and dead - The word quick we retain from our ancient mother tongue, the Saxon, to live , and from this our quicks, quick-set hedges, fences made of living thorns, etc. By quick and dead we are to understand:

1.All that had lived from the foundation of the world till that time; and all that were then alive.

2.All that should be found alive at the day of judgment, as well as all that had died previously.
