Acts2:22
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth a man approved of God among you, by miracles, wonders and signs , which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye your selves also know :
For so Pilate had called our Saviour through contempt, in his Superscriptions on the Cross, and that they might certainly know of whom he spake, and that he was not now (as formerly) ashamed to own him: he mentions our Saviour under that name here,
demonstrated, and beyond any contradiction, proved to be the Messiah: (for this was that great truth St. Peter Preached upon, that Christ whom Pilate had condemned, and called Iesus of Nazareth, was indeed the Son of God, and the true Messiah.)
The critical difference is not so material; It was ordinary to add many words, to shew the greatness of the matter spoken of; indeed all sorts of wonderful works Christ did, and so many, and so great, as no variety of words can express.
Those that are not convinced, are self-condemned.
