This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

9. πρὸς τὸ ὄνομα, contrary to the name, i.e. to the faith of Jesus Christ, into whose name believers were to be baptized. Cf. Act 5:41, note. ‘Name’ is constantly used in O.T. as the equivalent of ‘Godhead,’ and any Jew who heard the language of such a verse as this would understand that the Christians held Jesus to be a Divine Being.

Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου, of Jesus of Nazareth, whom we proclaim now as having been raised from the dead, and as being the fulfiller of the promises which were made to our forefathers.
