This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 3:24. Πάντες, all) The prophets, in Rev 10:7, are appealed to for the same purpose.-δὲ, truly) Answering to μὲν, indeed, in Act 3:22.-ἀπὸ Σαμουὴλ, from Samuel) Between the times of Moses and Samuel there was not much prophecy, until the authority of Moses alone was firmly established, according to whom the prophetical claims of all the others subsequently were to be decided. Then when the kingdom was introduced (beginning with king Saul), prophecy concerning the kingdom of Christ flourished: and it was through the very mother of Samuel that the first mention of the King and Messiah was made; and it was afterwards renewed frequently: 1Sa 2:10; 1Sa 2:35, etc., “The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and He shall give strength unto His King, and exalt the horn of His Anointed (= Messiah).”-τῶν) Repeat ἀπὸ before τῶν.-καὶ προλατήγγειλαν) καὶ, also, likewise.-ταύτας, these) Many things, when the time comes, are fulfilled at once.
