then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

Study note

Setting — Peter addresses the Jewish council and all the people of Israel at the moment they are demanding an explanation for the healing of a lame man.

The words — γνωστὸν ἔστω (gnōston estō) literally translates as "let it be known," establishing a formal public declaration directed to the assembly.

The thread — The text explicitly names Jesus of Nazareth, whom the council crucified but God raised, paralleling the crucifixion and exaltation theme in Acts 2:36 and the healing authority declared in Acts 3:6.

Why it lands — The text states that the healed man stands before the council solely by Jesus’s name, requiring the reader to acknowledge that the miracle originates from the crucified and resurrected Jesus rather than human power.
