Handelingen 10:37 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 10:37

The word [I say] you know
By common fame and report, which had for some years past been published by John, Christ, and his apostles, in Judea and Galilee; especially some parts of it, or points in it, such as the apostle hereafter mentions must have reached their ears:

Which was published throughout all Judea;
by Christ, his twelve apostles, and seventy disciples; who were sent out by him into all places, where he himself would come:

and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
that is, after John had began to preach the ordinance of water baptism, and to administer it; which were done, to set the Jews inquiring after the Messiah, and to make him manifest in Israel; upon which the word of the Gospel quickly began to be preached by Christ and his apostles, and that in Galilee; for here Christ began to preach himself, and here he called his apostles, and sent them forth to preach it.

Handelingen 10:37 In-Context

35 Maar in allen volke, die Hem vreest en gerechtigheid werkt, is Hem aangenaam.

36 Dit is het woord, dat Hij gezonden heeft den kinderen Israels, verkondigende vrede door Jezus Christus; deze is een Heere van allen.

37 Gijlieden weet de zaak, die geschied is door geheel Judea, beginnende van Galilea, na den doop, welken Johannes gepredikt heeft;

38 Belangende Jezus van Nazareth, hoe Hem God gezalfd heeft met den Heiligen Geest en met kracht; Welke het land doorgegaan is, goeddoende, en genezende allen, die van den duivel overweldigd waren; want God was met Hem.

39 En wij zijn getuigen van al hetgeen Hij gedaan heeft, beide in het Joodse land en te Jeruzalem; Welken zij gedood hebben, Hem hangende aan het hout.
