Acts 13:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 13:17

15 And ^aafter the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have ^bany word of exhortation for the people, say on.”

16 Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and ^ayou who fear God, listen:

17 The God of this people Israel ^achose our fathers, and exalted the people ^bwhen they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with² an uplifted arm He ^cbrought them out of it.

18 Now ^afor a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.

19 And when He had destroyed ^aseven nations in the land of Canaan, ^bHe distributed their land to them by allotment.

20 “After that ^aHe gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, ^buntil Samuel the prophet.

21 ^aAnd afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them ^bSaul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 And ^awhen He had removed him, ^bHe raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ^c‘I have found David the son of Jesse, ^da man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

23 ^aFrom this man’s seed, according ^bto the promise, God raised up for Israel ^ca Savior—Jesus—

24 ^aafter John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
