καὶ παρήγγειλεν ἡμῖν κηρύξαι τῷ λαῷ, and He commanded us to proclaim to the people. This was among the commandments alluded to Acts 1:2. Compare the charge given by Christ, Matthew 28:19, where the wide commission ‘Go ye, teach all nations,’ is one that anticipated the preaching of the Gospel not only to Cornelius, but to all other Gentiles.

ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ ὡρισμένος κ.τ.λ., that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. Of this the Apostles could testify for they had heard it from Christ’s own lips. Cf. His words to the Jews (John 5:22; John 5:27), ‘For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son,’ ‘and hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.’
