Who did Peter address after the crucifixion in Acts?
After the crucifixion, in the early chapters of Acts, Peter addressed the children of Israel and the men of Israel. He pleaded with them to respond to the fact that the one they had crucified was their Messiah. Nationally, Israel did not believe, though some did.
Les explains that even after the crucifixion, in the early chapters of Acts, Peter addresses “oh, ye children of Israel, ye men of Israel.” Peter pleads with them to respond to the fact that the one they crucified was their Messiah. But Israel would not believe it nationally; some did, but for the most part the nation rejected it. This fits the context of God’s discipline and continuing mercy upon Israel, whom He has set aside but not destroyed.
