Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 2:36

"Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified." — Acts 2:36 (ASV)

That same Jesus.—Better, this Jesus.

Both Lord and Christ.—Some MSS. omit “both.” The word “Lord” is used with special reference to the prophetic utterance of the Psalm thus cited. There is a rhetorical force in the very order of the words that English can scarcely convey: “that both Lord and Christ has God made this Jesus whom you crucified.” The pronoun of the last verb is emphatic, pointing to the contrast between the way the Jews of Jerusalem had dealt with Jesus and the recognition he had received from the Father. The utterance of the word “crucified” at the close, pressing home the guilt of the people on their consciences, may be thought of as particularly causing the result described in the next verse.
