Acts 10:36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all--
The setting
Peter connects Jesus's message to Israel with this moment of Gentile inclusion, realizing Christ's universal lordship...
The emotion here: overwhelming awe as the scope of God's plan becomes clear
The original word
kyrios pantōn (κυριος παντων) — Lord of all, sovereign over every nation, tribe, and people group
Why it matters
The phrase 'Lord of all' was also used for Roman emperors - Peter is making a radical political statement
Read with care
What most readers miss in Acts 10:36
Peter started this speech thinking Jesus was just for Jews - now he's declaring Jesus as Lord over Rome itself
