Acts 13:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 13:26

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

25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, ^a‘Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, ^bthere comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’

26 “Men and brethren, sons of the¹ family of Abraham, and ^athose among you who fear God, ^bto you the word of this salvation has been sent.

27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, ^abecause they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.

28 ^aAnd though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.

29 ^aNow when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, ^bthey took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
