Acts 10:43 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This our Saviour had told his apostles, which St. Peter here preaches to his auditors. It was included in the very first promise recorded by Moses, Genesis 3:15, The seed of the woman shall break the serpent's head; and so continued through all ages of the church, to be manifest in such degrees as it pleased the wisdom of God to make it known: it is certain that all the ceremonial law concerning sacrifices did testify this very thing; for by it, it did appear, that without shedding of blood there was no remission of sin, as Hebrews 9:22; and it is manifest by the light of nature, that the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sins, as Hebrews 10:4. But through Christ's name, for his sake, and by virtue of his merit, who died for our sins, and rose again for our justification, Romans 4:25, we shall receive remission of sins, Hebrews 9:13,14.

Acts 10:43
