Acts 10:42

Acts 10:42

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.

He charged (parhggeilen). First aorist active indicative as in Acts 1:4. There Jesus is the subject and so probably here, though Page insists that o qeov (God) is here because of verse Acts 10:40.

To testify (diamarturasqai). First aorist middle infinitive. See on Acts 2:40.

Ordained (wrismenov). Perfect passive participle of orizw, old verb, to mark out, to limit, to make a horizon.

Judge (krithv). The same point made by Peter in I Peter 4:5. He does not use the word "Messiah" to these Gentiles though he did say "anointed" (exrisen) in verse Acts 10:38. Peter's claim for Jesus is that he is the Judge of Jew and Gentile (living and dead).
