Acts 10:40 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:40

Him God raised up the third day
According to the Scriptures, particularly ( Hosea 6:2 ) . The resurrection, of Christ, though it is sometimes ascribed to himself, as God, whereby he was declared to be the Son of God, yet generally to God the Father, as here:

and showed him openly;
in a glorious body, and yet numerically the same he before lived and suffered in, so as to be heard, seen, and handled; by which full proof was given of the truth of his resurrection, in which he appeared to be the conqueror over death and the grave.

Acts 10:40 In-Context

38 You know that God anointed Jesus from Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went everywhere and did good things, such as healing everyone who was under the devil's power. Jesus did these things because God was with him.

39 We can testify to everything Jesus did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. People hung him on a cross and killed him,

40 but God brought him back to life on the third day. God didn't show him

41 to all the people. He showed Jesus to witnesses, apostles he had already chosen. We apostles are those men who ate and drank with Jesus after he came back to life.

42 He ordered us to warn the people, 'God has appointed Jesus to judge the living and the dead.'
