The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob This phrase establishes a direct connection to the patriarchs of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenantal promises. The God of these patriarchs is the same God who is active in the events of Acts. The Greek word for "God" here is "Theos," which is used throughout the New Testament to denote the one true God. This reference to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob roots the Christian message in the Jewish tradition, affirming that the God who called these patriarchs is the same God who is fulfilling His promises through Jesus Christ. Historically, this connection would resonate deeply with a Jewish audience, affirming the legitimacy and divine authority of the message being proclaimed. the God of our fathers has glorified His servant Jesus You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate though he had decided to release Him Hath glorified his Son Jesus.--Better, Servant. The word is that used throughout the later chanters of Isaiah for "the servant of Jehovah" (Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 48:20; Isaiah 52:13; Isaiah 53:11). It meets us again in Acts 3:26; Acts 4:27; Acts 4:30, and as applied to Christ, is peculiar to the Acts, with the exception of the citation from Isaiah in Matthew 12:18. It is, therefore, more distinctive than "Son" would have been, and implies the general Messianic interpretation of the prophetic language in which it is so prominent. . . . Verse 13. - Servant for Son, A.V.; before the face for in the presence, A.V.; had for was, A.V.; release him for let him go, A.V. The God of Abraham, etc. The continuity of the New Testament with the Old Testament stands out remarkably in St. Peter's address. He speaks to the "men of Israel," and he connects the present miracle with all that God had (lone to their fathers in days gone by. He does not seem conscious of any break or transition, or of any change of posture or position. Only a new incident, long since promised by the prophets, has been added. "tie thrusts himself upon the fathers of old, lest he should appear to be introducing a new doctrine" (Chrysostom). God... hath glorified his Servant Jesus. Servant is manifestly right (so St. Chrysostom). It is the constant meaning of παῖς in the LXX.; son is always υἱός (see ver. 26; Acts 4:27, 30). In Matthew 12:18 the A.V. has "servant." (For the Old Testament usage, see Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 52:13; Isaiah 53:11). Delivered up; παρεδώκατε, different from the ἔκδοτον of Acts 2:23 (where see note). The word is applied to the action of Judas in delivering up Jesus into the hands of the chief priests (John 19:11), and to the action of Pilate in sending Jesus to execution (Luke 23:25; John 19:16). Here it is spoken of the whole action of the Jews in procuring the death of Jesus. Denied before the face of Pilate. The reference is exact to Luke 23:13-23. To release him. There is a verbal agreement with Luke 23:16, 17, 20.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek TheὉ (Ho) Article - Nominative Masculine Singular Strong's 3588: The, the definite article.
