Nota de Estudo

Study Note

Peter's address in the temple portico concludes with God's commissioning of the resurrected Jesus — 'sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness' — framing the resurrection mission as first to Israel before the nations. The verb 'bless' (eulogein) deliberately echoes the Abrahamic promise (Genesis 12:3; 22:18), which Paul also deploys in Galatians 3:8, suggesting Peter understands the Messiah as the fulfillment of Abraham's covenant. The blessing is defined not as prosperity but as turning from wickedness — a definition that reorients popular messianic expectation from political liberation to moral renewal. The verse is part of Acts' consistent presentation of repentance as the expected response to the proclamation of Christ's resurrection.
