TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Good News Message

The apostles proclaimed the Good News (or "gospel") message in a definite sequence, with the following elements: (1) The Old Testament promises have been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (2) God has exalted Jesus by resurrecting him to be the head of the new people of God as the divinely appointed Messiah. (3) The apostles were witnesses of God’s work in Jesus Christ, both as eyewitnesses of his public ministry and resurrection (Acts 2:32; 3:15; 4:33; 5:30-32; 13:30-31) and as his chosen advocates (10:39-43). (4) The proper response to this Good News is repentance and faith (2:38; 3:19; 13:39, 48; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20). (5) The Holy Spirit is promised to those who accept this offer of God’s forgiveness and salvation from sin through Jesus Christ.

This basic message was repeatedly preached to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world (see 1:8; 9:15), including in the words of Peter and Philip recorded in Acts 2:14-41; 3:12-26; 4:8-12; 5:29-32; 8:4-13, 26-40; and 10:34-43. The same themes also characterize Paul’s preaching (e.g., Acts 13:16-49; 1 Cor 15:1-11).

It is through this powerful message of God’s saving grace that people’s hearts and minds are turned toward him. And the reception of this message ushers in salvation. All people are summoned to repentance from sin and faith in the saving power of Jesus (Acts 4:12; 13:38; 16:30-31)—through his death we can be “made right in God’s sight” (13:39).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἀνοίξας & Πέτρος τὸ στόμα εἶπεν

/having/_opened_up & Peter ¬the mouth said

It might seem that the expression opening his mouth … said contains redundant information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could abbreviate it. Alternate translation: [Peter replied]

προσωπολήμπτης

/a/_favorer

Alternate translation: [one who shows favoritism]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἔστιν προσωπολήμπτης ὁ Θεός

not is /a/_favorer ¬the God

As the next verse shows, Peter means implicitly that God does not favor Jewish people above people of other nations. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [God does not favor Jewish people above people of other nations]
