• His “servant” Jesus it should be. You do not find Peter preaching Jesus as the Son of God. That was reserved for Paul. Peter preaches Him as God’s servant Jesus. When we come to the ninth chapter of the Acts, where Paul is converted, he at once begins the ministry of the Son of God. “And straightway he preached Jesus in the synagogue, that He is the Son of God” (Acts 9:20). Peter’s point here is clearly this — Jesus is in glory, the One who was once here on earth, is now in the glory. (“The Cripple and the Builders” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• “Son” is not the thought, but Jehovah's servant as in Isa. 42, 49:1, 52, 53, whom the Jews had denied before the Roman judge, when disposed, yea determined, to let Him go. (“Acts 3” by W. Kelly)
