Acts 10:43
Compare all
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.  
46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit ajust as we have?”  
48 aAnd he commanded them to be baptized bin the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

Acts 10:43

To him give all the prophets witness - See Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 52:7; Isaiah 53:5, Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 59:20; Jeremiah 31:34; Daniel 9:24; Micah 7:18, etc.; and Zechariah 13:1. As Jesus Christ was the sum and substance of the law and the Mosaic dispensation, so all the prophets bore testimony, either directly or indirectly, to him; and, indeed, without him and the salvation he has promised, there is scarcely any meaning in the Mosaic economy, nor in most of the allusions of the prophets.

Remission of sins - The phrase, ̔ , means simply the taking away of sins; and this does not refer to the guilt of sin merely, but also to its power, nature, and consequences. All that is implied in pardon of sin, destruction of its tyranny, and purification from its pollution, is here intended; and it is wrong to restrict such operations of mercy to pardon alone.
