Acts 2
1. The apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, and speaking various languages,
12. are admired by some, and derided by others;
14. whom Peter disproves;
37. he baptizes a great number who were converted;
41. who afterwards devoutly and charitably converse together;
43. the apostles working many miracles,
46. and God daily increasing his church.














God has raised
The phrase "God has raised" is central to the Christian faith, emphasizing the divine power and authority of God in the resurrection of Jesus. The Greek word used here is "ἤγειρεν" (ēgeiren), which means to awaken or to raise up. This act of raising Jesus from the dead is a testament to God's sovereignty over life and death, affirming the truth of Jesus' divinity and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Historically, the resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian belief, signifying victory over sin and death, and providing hope for eternal life to believers.

this Jesus
The specificity of "this Jesus" underscores the historical and personal reality of Jesus Christ. It is not a mythical figure or an abstract concept, but a real person who lived, died, and was resurrected. The use of "this" points to the tangible, witnessed events of Jesus' life and ministry. In the context of Acts, Peter is addressing a Jewish audience familiar with Jesus' recent crucifixion, making it clear that the same Jesus they knew is the one God has raised.

to life
The phrase "to life" signifies not just a return to physical existence, but a transformation into a new, glorified state. The Greek word "ζωή" (zōē) is often used in the New Testament to denote not just biological life, but a quality of life that is eternal and divine. This resurrection life is a foretaste of the eternal life promised to all believers, a life that is abundant and everlasting, free from the corruption of sin and death.

to which we are all witnesses
The declaration "to which we are all witnesses" highlights the communal and verifiable nature of the resurrection event. The Greek word "μάρτυρες" (martyres) means witnesses, and it is from this word that we derive the term "martyr," indicating those who testify to the truth, even unto death. The apostles and early disciples were eyewitnesses to the risen Christ, and their testimony forms the foundation of the Christian faith. This collective witness provides credibility and assurance to the truth of the resurrection, encouraging believers to stand firm in their faith and to share the gospel with boldness. Historically, the willingness of the apostles to suffer and die for their testimony is a powerful testament to the reality of the resurrection.

(32) This Jesus hath God raised up . . .--From the first the Apostles take up the position which their Lord had assigned them. They are witnesses, and before and above all else, witnesses of the Resurrection.

Verse 32. - Did God raise up for hath God raised up, A.V. Are witnesses (see Acts 1:22, note).
