Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;" — Acts 2:22 (ASV)
You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
Note that Peter does not begin with the Deity of Christ. He will get to that soon; but, like a wise speaker, he commences with points upon which they were all agreed, or which they could not deny. He therefore calls Christ a man approved of God, and he reminds them of the miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in their midst. They knew that God had thus attested his mission, so he appealed to them for confirmation: As you yourselves also know.
