📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Peter is delivering a sermon in Jerusalem to a crowd of Jews shortly after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, following a miraculous healing. He is emphasizing the continuity of God's plan by referencing the Old Testament prophets, starting from Samuel, who prophesied about the Messiah and the events of the early church. This highlights how the Jewish scriptures pointed forward to Jesus as the fulfillment of those prophecies in the first century AD.
