Therefore let all Israel know with certainty
This phrase serves as a conclusive statement following Peter's sermon at Pentecost. The term "all Israel" refers to the Jewish people, emphasizing the message's importance to the entire nation. The certainty mentioned here underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the undeniable truth of Jesus' identity and mission. This call to knowledge is rooted in the Jewish tradition of seeking truth and understanding, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, where the Shema calls Israel to hear and know the Lord.

that God has made this Jesus
The phrase highlights the divine action in establishing Jesus' role and authority. It reflects the fulfillment of God's promises and His sovereign plan. The use of "this Jesus" points directly to the historical figure who lived, taught, and performed miracles among them, as recorded in the Gospels. It emphasizes the continuity of Jesus' earthly ministry with His exalted status. This aligns with Philippians 2:9-11, where God exalts Jesus and gives Him the name above every name.

whom you crucified
This part of the verse directly addresses the responsibility of the Jewish people in the crucifixion of Jesus. It serves as a convicting reminder of their actions, which were part of God's redemptive plan. The crucifixion, a Roman method of execution, was carried out at the behest of Jewish leaders, as seen in the Gospel accounts. This phrase also connects to Isaiah 53, where the suffering servant is described, pointing to the sacrificial nature of Jesus' death.

both Lord and Christ!
The declaration of Jesus as "Lord" and "Christ" affirms His divine authority and messianic role. "Lord" (Kyrios in Greek) is a title of divinity and sovereignty, often used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew name for God, Yahweh. "Christ" (Christos in Greek) means "Anointed One," equivalent to the Hebrew "Messiah." This dual title confirms Jesus as the promised deliverer and ruler, fulfilling prophecies such as Psalm 110:1 and Daniel 7:13-14. The acknowledgment of Jesus as both Lord and Christ is central to Christian faith, as seen in Romans 10:9, where confessing Jesus as Lord is linked to salvation.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Peter
The apostle delivering the sermon at Pentecost, filled with the Holy Spirit, boldly proclaiming the truth about Jesus to the crowd.

2. Jesus
Referred to as both "Lord" and "Christ," emphasizing His divine authority and messianic role.

5. Jerusalem

Teaching Points
Certainty of Jesus' Lordship
Believers are called to have unwavering confidence in Jesus' identity as both Lord and Christ. This certainty should shape our faith and witness.

Responsibility and Repentance
Recognizing that Jesus was crucified due to human sinfulness, we are called to repentance and transformation in light of His sacrifice.

The Role of the Holy Spirit
Just as the Holy Spirit empowered Peter to preach boldly, believers today are empowered to proclaim the gospel with courage and clarity.

Unity in Christ
The message was for "all the house of Israel," indicating that the gospel is inclusive and unifying, breaking down barriers and calling all to faith in Christ.

Living Under Christ's Lordship
Acknowledging Jesus as Lord means submitting every aspect of our lives to His authority, seeking to align our actions and decisions with His will.(36) That same Jesus. . . .--Better, this Jesus.

Both Lord and Christ.--Some MSS. omit "both." The word "Lord" is used with special reference to the prophetic utterance of the Psalm thus cited. There is a rhetorical force in the very order of the words which the English can scarcely give: "that both Lord and Christ hath God made this Jesus whom ye crucified." The pronoun of the last verb is emphatic, as pointing the contrast between the way in which the Jews of Jerusalem had dealt with Jesus and the recognition which he had received from the Father. The utterance of the word "crucified" at the close, pressing home the guilt of the people on their consciences, may be thought of as, in a special manner, working the result described in the next verse.

Verse 36. - Let all the house of Israel therefore for therefore let all the house of Israel, A.V. ; him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified for that same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ, A.V., a change very much for the worse, inasmuch as the R.V. is not an English phrase, and adds nothing to the sense.
