the sovereign king ⁴  over all the earth.

Jeremiah 10:10

Daniel 6:26

Acts 10:36

10:36 You know ⁹  the message ¹⁰  he sent to the people ¹¹  of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace ¹²  through ¹³  Jesus Christ ¹⁴  (he is Lord ¹⁵  of all) –

¹ tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

² tn After the preceding jussives (v. 17), the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose (“so that they may know”) or result.

³ tn Heb “that you, your name [is] the Lord, you alone.”

⁴ tn Traditionally “the Most High.”

⁵ tn Heb “and there is none besides.” On the use of עוֹד (’od) here, see BDB 729 s.v. 1.c.

⁶ tn Heb “gird you” (so NASB) or “strengthen you” (so NIV).

⁷ tn Or “know” (NAB, NCV, NRSV, TEV, CEV, NLT); NIV “have not acknowledged.”

⁸ tn Aram “until the end.”

⁹ tn The subject and verb (“you know”) do not actually occur until the following verse, but have been repeated here because of the requirements of English word order.

¹⁰ tn Grk “the word.”

¹¹ tn Grk “to the sons.”

¹² sn Peace is a key OT concept: Isa 52:7; Nah 1:15; also for Luke: Luke 1:79; 2:14; Acts 9:31. See also the similar phrase in Eph 2:17.

¹³ tn Or “by.”

¹⁴ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

¹⁵ sn He is Lord of all. Though a parenthetical remark, this is the theological key to the speech. Jesus is Lord of all, so the gospel can go to all. The rest of the speech proclaims Jesus’ authority.
