<p>13:26 <i>Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us</i>- Here, and several times in this sermon, Paul seems to be repeating Peter's style of 3:17. He was deeply impressed by Peter; the question is whether he followed his example out of humble deference, or partly because he pretended to Peter's chosen role as the apostle to the Jews.</p><p><i>Is the word of this salvation sent</i>- 'The <i>logos</i> of this Jesus'. That the Lord Jesus personally is in view here is confirmed by the next verse talking of how the Jews &quot;knew Him not&quot; and 'condemned Him' (:27). The personal pronoun is usually used after the person has been defined. The 'he' in verse 27 clearly refers to Jesus; and so the reference to Him is surely here in :26 in the phrase &quot;the word of this salvation&quot;. Acts 10:36 speaks of the Lord Jesus as the word sent from God.</p>
