Acts 3:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob; he mentions them, because the promise of the Messiah was made to them, Hath glorified his Son Jesus; or his servant, for so also he is called, Isaiah 53:11; and that he might redeem us, he took upon him the form of a servant, and was obedient to the death of the cross, and did that great work of redemption which God sent him into the world to do. Whom ye delivered up; the rulers, at whose command our blessed Saviour was apprehended, bound, and delivered unto Pilate, Matthew 27:1,2. And denied him; this is charged upon the common sort of people also, who were earnest in crying, Matthew 27:25, His blood be on us, and on our children. Their sin is here ripped up, and their sore searched to the quick, that they might entertain the word of salvation with the greater attention and desire.
