Acts 10:42
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.

Barnes' Notes
<< Acts 10:41   Acts 10:43 >>


Acts 10:42

And he commanded us ... - ; Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16.

And to testify - To bear witness.

That it is he ... - See the notes on John 5:22-27. Compare the references in the margin.

Of quick - The living. The doctrine of the New Testament is, that those who are alive when the Lord Jesus shall return to judge the world, will be caught up in vast numbers like clouds, to meet him in the air, without seeing death, I Thessalonians 4:16-17. Yet before this they will experience such a change in their bodies as shall fit them for the judgment and for their eternal residence - a change which will liken them to those who have died, and have risen from the dead. What this change will be, speculation may fancy, but the Bible has not revealed. See I Corinthians 15:52, "The dead shall be raised, and we shall be changed."
