Acts15:14-17
14-17. Simeon--a Hebrew variation of Simon, as in 2Pe 1:1; (Greek), the Jewish and family name of Peter.
hath declared how God at the first--answering to Peter's own expression "a good while ago" (Ac 15:7).
did visit the Gentiles to take out of them--in the exercise of His adorable sovereignty.
a people for his name--the honor of his name, or for His glory.
