Acts 10:38

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 10:38

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth - Here the apostle refers to Christ as the promised Messiah; for, as Messiah signifies the anointed one, and Christ has the same signification in Greek, and the Messiah, according to the prophets, and the expectation of the Jews, was to work miracles, Peter proclaims Jesus as the Messiah, and refers to the miracles which he wrought as the proof of it. This delicate, but forcible allusion is lost by most readers.
