Acts 4:10 - Additional Comments

Peter is making a declaration, that even though this speech was to the Jewish high court, his message is intended for all the people of Israel.
Peter qualifies Jesus' name, "of Nazareth", since it was a common name. But notice he also identifies Jesus with His position, the Christ.
These could be incendiary remarks, both claiming Jesus is the Christ and pointing out (even holding them liable) that they were the ones who caused Jesus to be crucified.
We need to always be ready to explain, defend our faith - 1 Peter 3:15, yet with gentleness and reverence (vs 8), because boldness (vs 13) can either help or hurt your cause.
Peter didn't talk around the real answer - he told them directly that this was because of Jesus. May we learn from this. Do you think the name of Jesus is any less anathema then than it is now? (See incident in the note on verse 8 of the high school float.)
Now the high court would no longer be in ignorance about who Jesus was, for it was made very clear to them that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah.
