“Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.”

Having reached the heart of his message in the proclamation of the Saviour Jesus, Who is the final result of God's promises to Abraham, he now points out that this message is precisely for them. For they are the children of the stock of Abraham. And it is for those whose ‘fear of God' has been laid open before all because they look to the God of Abraham. It is to such as them, along with he and his companions, that this word of salvation has been sent forth.

But he must now go on to a fuller explanation concerning Jesus, for His death had not occurred in secret. Many would be fully aware of it.
