Greek Commentary for Acts 10:43
This accusative active participle of general reference with the infinitive in indirect discourse is the usual idiom. Only λαβειν labein (second aorist active infinitive of λαμβανω lambanō) is not indirect statement so much as indirect command or arrangement. The prophets bear witness to Jesus Christ to this effect. It is God‘s plan and no race distinctions are drawn. Peter had already said the same thing at Pentecost (Acts 2:38), but now he sees himself that Gentiles do not have to become Jews, but have only to believe in Jesus as Messiah and Judge as foretold by the prophets. It was glorious news to Cornelius and his group. [source]
(δια του ονοματος αυτου dia tou onomatos autou), not as a title or magic formula (Acts 18:13), but the power of Christ himself represented by his name. [source]
As in the Lord's prayer: not simply the title, but all that is embraced and expressed by the name: Christ's “entire perfection, as the object revealed to the believer for his apprehension, confession, and worship” (Meyer). [source]
