This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Testifying (diamarturomenos). As Peter did (Act 2:40) where Luke uses this same word thoroughly Lucan and Pauline. So again in Act 20:23, Act 20:24. Paul here as in Rom 1:16 includes both Jews and Greeks, to the Jew first.
Repentance toward God (tēn eis theon metanoian) and faith toward our Lord Jesus (kai pistin eis ton kurion hēmōn Iēsoun). These two elements run through the Epistle to the Romans which Paul had recently written and sent from Corinth. These two elements appear in all Paul’s preaching whether “to Jews or Gentiles, to philosophers at Athens or to peasants at Lystra, he preached repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus” (Knowling).
