And he shall The appeal here is national to the Jewish people as such, not individuals as in Peter's first sermon Acts 2:38; Acts 2:39.

Shall we turn to Acts, the third chapter.Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour ( Acts 3:1 ).The day started at six o'clock in the morning, sun up, so the ninth hour would be three o'clock in the afternoon.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 3:1-26

Acts 3:1 . Peter and John went into the temple at the hour of prayer. Some read, At the same time Peter and John went into the temple, intimating that this was the afternoon of the day of pentecost. Others conjecture that this miracle was wrought two or three days after the conversion of the three thousand, which is obviously supported by Acts 2:41.

It has been translated “after-wit,” or “after-wisdom”; it is the man’s finding out that he is wrong, and rectifying his judgment.

Acts 3:20And He shall send Jesus.The Missionary ChristA missionary is “one sent.” Jesus was a missionary when He came to save; He will be a missionary when He comes to judge. These missions have been loosely termed the First and Second Advents as though there were no others. But if the Old Testament theophanies were manifestations of Christ, then Christ came on a pre-incarnate mission. Then, again, He had aa important mission after the Resurrection; and further, we see from the text in... read more
