Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 10:39

39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

The Apostles, whom Christ had chosen to go in and out with him, and to be eye and ear-witnesses of all that was done by him, or against him.

Their killing of our Saviour, is the rather here spoken of, to shew how rightfully the Iews were now to be forsaken, and that they had no cause to complain of the calling in of the Gentiles, being themselves had in such a manner rejected Christ; but especially, that they who were here met, and we, all might consider, how much it cost our blessed Saviour to deliver us from sin, and hell, Gal. 3.13. He was mad[illegible: 1 letter] [illegible: 1 span] for us, as Deut. 21.23. that the blessing of Abraham might come upon us, Gal. 3.14.
