Acts 10:43 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

To him give all the prophets witness Speaking to heathen, he does not mention the name of any one prophet in particular; but, after having spoken of Christ's person, miracles, and resurrection, contents himself with informing them, in general terms, that there were many prophets in former ages who bore testimony to him, without entering into a particular enumeration of them, or quoting their predictions: an observation which is also applicable to that particular truth which Peter here declares the prophets, which he referred to, had attested, namely, that through his name Through his mediation, grace, and Spirit; whosoever believeth in him With a living faith, whether he be Jew or Gentile; shall receive remission of sins Though he had not before either feared God or wrought righteousness. This truth it would have been easy for the apostle to have proved, from several testimonies of the prophets, (had it been proper to do so to that audience,) as will appear by comparing the passages referred to in the margin. We may further observe here, that we do not read of Peter's working any miracle on this great occasion, in proof of the truth of his doctrine; as the preceding testimony of the angel to Cornelius, and the descent of the Holy Spirit in his miraculous gifts, while he was speaking to them, were sufficient proofs, both of the truth of the gospel, and of Peter's being an authorized interpreter of it.
