Acts 13:38 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Men and brethren; the usual compellation given in these cases. This man; having spoken concerning Christ's resurrection, which only can be meant of him in his human nature, here, according unto that nature, the apostle calls him man. The forgiveness of sins; as in Acts 10:43. This forgiveness of sins is that which the apostle so much would recommend to all to seek after, and magnify Christ for, it heing only through him; and he could not be overcome by death, who could deliver us from sin.
