This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 2:40. Πλείοσι, with many more) The truth must be pressed on men, until the desired result is effected.-διεμαρτύρατο, he testified) This refers to what goes before.-παρεκάλει, he exhorted) This refers to what follows.-σώθητε, be saved) depart in a state of salvation, without, delay. This is deduced from Act 2:21, “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved,” and is repeated in Act 2:47, “Such as should be saved.” These words are conjugates to the name Jesus [=God-Saviour]. The beginning of salvation is in conversion, and does not merely take place first at death. Eph 2:5.-τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης) this crooked, untoward generation; as to which see Act 2:13. An apt epithet to apply to the Jews: some of whom were persevering in ‘mocking.’
