SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:43
A ste dan testimonio todos los profetas, de que todos los que en l creyeren, recibirn perdn de pecados por su Nombre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 10:43
Verse 43. To him give all the prophets witness] See Isa. ix. 6; lii. 7; liii. 5, 6; lix. 20; Jer. xxxi. 34; Dan. ix. 24; Micah vii. 18, &c.; and Zech. xiii. 1. As Jesus Christ was the sum and substance of the law and the Mosaic dispensation, so all the prophets bore testimony, either directly or indirectly, to him; and, indeed, without him and the salvation he has promised, there is scarcely any meaning in the Mosaic economy, nor in most of the allusions of the prophets. Remission of sins.] The phrase, afesiv amartiwn, means simply the taking away of sins; and this does not refer to the guilt of sin merely, but also to its power, nature, and consequences. All that is implied in pardon of sin, destruction of its tyranny, and purification from its pollution, is here intended; and it is wrong to restrict such operations of mercy to pardon alone.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. To him give all the prophets witness , etc.] As David, ( Psalm 32:1,2,5 103:3 Isaiah 43:25, 44:22, 53:5, 55:7 Jeremiah 31:34 Ezekiel 36:25) ( Daniel 9:9,24 Hos 14:2,4 Micah 7:18 Zechariah 3:4,9 13:1 Malachi 3:17) that through his name, whosoever believeth in him, shall receive the remission of sins ; the meaning is, that whoever believes in Christ with a right and true faith, with the heart, he shall receive, not as what his faith procures or deserves, but as a gift of Gods grace, the free and full forgiveness of his sins, through Christ; through the effusion of his blood, and the virtue of his sacrifice. Christ was set forth in the purposes of God, in the types, figures, and sacrifices of the law, and in the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament, as he that should obtain the remission of sins by his blood, without which there is no remission; he came in the fulness of time, and shed his blood for this purpose, and accordingly it is procured by it; and this is published in the everlasting Gospel, that whoever believes in Christ, not with an historical or temporary faith, or in profession only, but with the faith of Gods elect, which is the gift of God, and the operation of his Spirit, which works by love, and makes Christ precious, shall receive it as a free gift; for it is not to be purchased by money, nor obtained by works of righteousness, nor procured by repentance, or by anything done by the creature, but is according to the riches of divine grace and mercy: through the name of Christ: through the blood of Christ, which was shed for it; through the power of Christ, as God, who is able to forgive it; and through the hands of Christ, as Mediator, who is exalted to bestow it; and for the sake of Christ, and his mediation, whose blood calls aloud for it; and whoever looks by faith to him for it, shall have it, of whatsoever sex, state, or condition they be, of whatsoever people or nation, and how great sinners soever they have been, and whether they are weak or strong believers. Some copies read, through his blood.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 34-43 - Acceptance cannot be obtained on any other ground than that of the covenant of mercy, through the atonement of Christ; but wherever tru religion is found, God will accept it without regarding names or sects The fear of God and works of righteousness are the substance of tru religion, the effects of special grace. Though these are not the caus of a man's acceptance, yet they show it; and whatever may be wanting i knowledge or faith, will in due time be given by Him who has begun it They knew in general the word, that is, the gospel, which God sent to the children of Israel. The purport of this word was, that God by it published the good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ. They knew the several matters of fact relating to the gospel. They knew the baptis of repentance which John preached. Let them know that this Jesu Christ, by whom peace is made between God and man, is Lord of all; no only as over all, God blessed for evermore, but as Mediator. All power both in heaven and in earth, is put into his hand, and all judgmen committed to him. God will go with those whom he anoints; he will be with those to whom he has given his Spirit. Peter then declare Christ's resurrection from the dead, and the proofs of it. Faith ha reference to a testimony, and the Christian faith is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, on the testimony given by them. See what must be believed concerning him. That we are all accountable to Christ as our Judge; so every one must seek his favour and to have him as our Friend. And if we believe in him, we shall all be justified by him as our Righteousness. The remission of sins lays foundation for all other favours and blessings, by taking that out of the way which hinders the bestowing of them. If sin be pardoned, all is well, and shall end well for ever.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
43. His name. As in the Lord's prayer: not simply the title, but all that is embraced and expressed by the name: Christ's "entire perfection, as the object revealed to the believer for his apprehension, confession, and worship" (Meyer).
Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:43 {Every one that believeth} (panta ton pisteuonta). this accusative active participle of general reference with the infinitive in indirect discourse is the usual idiom. Only labein (second aorist active infinitive of lambanw) is not indirect statement so much as indirect command or arrangement. The prophets bear witness to Jesus Christ to this effect. It is God's plan and no race distinctions are drawn. Peter had already said the same thing at Pentecost (#2:38), but now he sees himself that Gentiles do not have to become Jews, but have only to believe in Jesus as Messiah and Judge as foretold by the prophets. It was glorious news to Cornelius and his group. {Through his name} (dia tou onomatos autou), not as a _title_ or magic formula (#Ac 18:13), but the power of Christ himself represented by his name.
