We are witnesses of all that He did The apostles, including Peter who is speaking here, were firsthand witnesses to the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This eyewitness testimony is crucial for the credibility of the Gospel message. In Jewish law, the testimony of two or three witnesses was required to establish a fact (Deuteronomy 19:15). The apostles' role as witnesses fulfills this requirement, providing a solid foundation for the truth of the Gospel. Their witness is not just of His miracles and teachings but also of His resurrection, which is central to Christian faith (Acts 1:8). both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree Persons / Places / Events 1. PeterThe apostle who is speaking in this passage, sharing the gospel with Cornelius and his household. 2. Jesus Christ The central figure of the gospel message, whose life, death, and resurrection are being testified to. 3. The Jews The people among whom Jesus conducted His ministry, fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament. 4. Jerusalem The city where significant events of Jesus' ministry, including His crucifixion, took place. 5.

The Fulfillment of Prophecy Jesus' death on the cross was not an accident but a fulfillment of God's redemptive plan as foretold in the Scriptures. The Universality of the Gospel The message of salvation through Jesus is for all people, as demonstrated by Peter's sharing of the gospel with Gentiles. The Cost of Redemption Reflect on the significance of Jesus' sacrifice, understanding that He bore the curse of sin for our sake. Living as Witnesses Consider how our lives can testify to the truth of the gospel in our daily interactions and relationships.(39) And we are witnesses of all things.--The Apostle still keeps before him the main idea of his mission as laid down in the command given by his Lord (Acts 1:8). Both in the land of the Jews.--Speaking as St. Peter did at Caesarea, and as a Galilean, we must probably take the word in its narrower sense as meaning the inhabitants of Judaea. So taken, the words have the interest of implying the ministry in Judaea, of which the first three Gospels record so little, but which comes out into full prominence in the fourth. (See Introduction to St. John's Gospel.) Whom they slew and hanged on a tree.--As in Acts 2:23, Peter represents the Crucifixion as virtually the act of the rulers and people of Jerusalem and not of the Roman governor. The mode of death is described as in the Greek of Deuteronomy 28:26 and in Galatians 3:10, rather than in the more technical language of the Gospels.
