34, 35. Peter opened his mouth--(See on
Mt 5:2).
Of a truth I perceive--that is, "I have it now demonstrated before
mine eyes."
that God is no respecter of persons--Not, "I see there is no capricious
favoritism with God," for Peter would never imagine such a thing; but
(as the next clause shows), "I see that God has respect only to
personal character and state in the acceptance of men, national and
ecclesiastical distinctions being of no account."
