This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world - Such language beyond doubt teaches that the judgment will, in its essence, be a solemn judicial assize held upon all mankind at once. “Aptly is this uttered on the Areopagus, the seat of judgment” [Bengel].
by that man whom he hath ordained - compare Joh 5:22, Joh 5:23, Joh 5:27; Act 10:42.
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead - the most patent evidence to mankind at large of the judicial authority with which the Risen One is clothed.
