Greek Commentary for Acts 2:32
Many of the name “Jesus,” but he means the one already called “the Nazarene” (Acts 2:22) and foretold as the Messiah in Psalm 16:1-11 and raised from the dead by God in proof that he is the Messiah (Acts 2:24, Acts 2:32), “this Jesus whom ye crucified” (Acts 2:36). Other terms used of him in the Acts are the Messiah, Acts 2:31, the one whom God “anointed” (Acts 10:38), as in John 1:41, Jesus Christ (Acts 9:34). In Acts 2:36 God made this Jesus Messiah, in Acts 3:20 the Messiah Jesus, in Acts 17:3 Jesus is the Messiah, in Acts 18:5 the Messiah is Jesus, in Acts 24:24 Christ Jesus. [source]
Or “of whom.” Either makes sense and both are true. Peter claims the whole 120 as personal witnesses to the fact of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead and they are all present as Peter calls them to witness on the point. In Galilee over 500 had seen the Risen Christ at one time (1 Corinthians 15:6) most of whom were still living when Paul wrote. Thus the direct evidence for the resurrection of Jesus piles up in cumulative force. [source]

Points to the following οτι hoti clause. The Father‘s love for the Son is drawn out (John 3:16) by the voluntary offering of the Son for the sin of the world (Romans 5:8). Hence the greater exaltation (Philemon 2:9). Jesus does for us what any good shepherd does (John 10:11) as he has already said (John 10:15). The value of the atoning death of Christ lies in the fact that he is the Son of God, the Son of Man, free of sin, and that he makes the offering voluntarily (Hebrews 9:14). That I may take it again Purpose clause with ινα hina and second aorist active subjunctive of λαμβανω lambanō He looked beyond his death on the Cross to the resurrection. “The purpose of the Passion was not merely to exhibit his unselfish love; it was in order that He might resume His life, now enriched with quickening power as never before” (Bernard). The Father raised Jesus from the dead (Acts 2:32). There is spontaneity in the surrender to death and in the taking life back again (Dods). [source]
One who shall bear testimony: not a spectator, a mistake often made on Hebrews 12:1. Compare Acts 2:32. [source]
Compare “ye yourselves know” (Acts 10:37). Peter thus appeals to what the audience know and to what the disciples know. He made the same claim about personal witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus at Pentecost (Acts 2:32). Here Peter affirms full knowledge of the work of Jesus in Judea (for whole country including Galilee and Perea) and Jerusalem (given mainly in John‘s Gospel). In the Greek ων hōn (which) is attracted into the genitive case to agree with the antecedent παντων pantōn (all), a common enough idiom. [source]
Dative (after ωπτη ōphthē) articular participle (second aorist active of συναναβαινω sunanabainō) with associative instrumental case The very point that Peter used to clinch his argument with such powerful effect (Acts 2:32; Acts 3:15). [source]

Of the Messiah. See under Acts 2:32. This is a definite statement by Peter that David knew that in Psalm 16:1-11 he was describing the resurrection of the Messiah. [source]
