ACTS 10:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)”
'You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.'—Peter's historical survey begins with the 'message God sent,' establishing the gospel as divine initiative from the beginning. 'Peace through Jesus Christ' (eirēnē dia Iēsou Christou) echoes Paul's later formulation (Eph 2:14); Christ is the peace between Jew and Gentile. The declaration 'Lord of all' (kyrios pantōn) is the eschatological proclamation of Psalm 97; all creation acknowledges his sovereignty.
