For the people. Paul now explains the facts of the gospel. (1) Christ was rejected by the Jewish leaders; (2) the prophecies made to come true; (3) they force Pilate to kill him, even though they could find no reason; (4) the Scriptures came true in his death; (5) God raised him from death; (6) God's promise to the ancestors had now been fulfilled to the descendants. You are my Son. This is explained by Romans 1:4. God "became his father" by raising Jesus to life. Never again to return to decay. Others had been raised from death, but Jesus was the first to conquer death. He will never die again! Compare 1 Corinthians 15:20. You will not allow your devoted servant. See notes on Acts 2:27-32.
