What did Peter say at Pentecost about Jesus to the house of Israel?
At Pentecost, Peter declared to all the house of Israel that God had made the same Jesus whom they crucified both Lord and Christ. The context explains this was still God dealing with Israel, confirming the apostolic message to the nation.
Les explains that Acts chapter 2 is still God dealing with Israel. On the day of Pentecost, Peter addressed the house of Israel in Acts 2:36, saying God had made that same Jesus whom they crucified Lord and Christ. Les points out this fits the early Acts period, after Israel's rejection of the Messiah and before God raised up another apostle and sent him to the Gentiles with the Gospel of the grace of God.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
