Peter opened his mouth--(See on Mat 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."

It is intimated that he expressed himself with a great deal of solemnity and gravity, but with freedom and copiousness, in that phrase, he opened his mouth, and spoke, Act 10:34. O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, saith Paul, Co2 6:11. "You shall find us communicative, if we but find you inquisitive." Hitherto the mouths of the apostles had been shut to the uncircumcised Gentiles, they had nothing to say to them; but now God gave unto them, as he did to Ezekiel, the opening of the mouth. This excellent sermon of Peter's is admirably suited to the circumstances of those to whom he preached it; for it was a new sermon. I. Because they were Gentiles to whom he preached. He shows that, notwithstanding this, they were interested in the gospel of Christ, which he had to preach, and entitled to the benefit of it, upon an equal footing with the Jews. It was necessary that this should be cleared, or else with what comfort could either he preach or they hear? He therefore lays down this as an undoubted principle, that God is no respecter of persons; doth not know favour in judgment, as the Hebrew phrase is; which magistrates are forbidden to do (Deu 1:17; Deu 16:19; Pro 24:23), and are blamed for doing, Psa 82:2. And it is often said of God that he doth not respect persons, Deu 10:17; Ch2 19:7; Job 34:19; Rom 2:11; Col 3:25; Pe1 1:17. He doth not give judgment in favour of a man for the sake of any external advantage foreign to the merits of the cause. God never perverts judgment upon personal regards and considerations, nor countenances a wicked man in a wicked thing fo…

The application of this principle is the meaning of Peter’s vision (10:9-16). • In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right: See Rom 10:11-13.

لأَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ اللهِ مُحَابَاةٌ.
وَالآنَ لِتَكُنْ هَيْبَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمُ. احْذَرُوا وَافْعَلُوا. لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا ظُلْمٌ وَلاَ مُحَابَاةٌ وَلاَ ارْتِشَاءٌ».
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكُمْ هُوَ إِلهُ الآلِهَةِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْبَابِ، الإِلهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمَهِيبُ الَّذِي لاَ يَأْخُذُ بِالْوُجُوهِ وَلاَ يَقْبَلُ رَشْوَةً.
وَأَمَّا الظَّالِمُ فَسَينَالُ مَا ظَلَمَ بِهِ، وَلَيْسَ مُحَابَاةٌ.
الَّذِي لاَ يُحَابِي بِوُجُوهِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَلاَ يَعْتَبِرُ مُوسَعًا دُونَ فَقِيرٍ. لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعَهُمْ عَمَلُ يَدَيْهِ.
فَسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَامُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَتُعَلِّمُ، وَلاَ تَقْبَلُ الْوُجُوهَ، بَلْ بِالْحَقِّ تُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ اللهِ.
وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُونَ أَبًا الَّذِي يَحْكُمُ بِغَيْرِ مُحَابَاةٍ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، فَسِيرُوا زَمَانَ غُرْبَتِكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ،
وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّادَةُ، افْعَلُوا لَهُمْ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ، تَارِكِينَ التَّهْدِيدَ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ سَيِّدَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مُحَابَاةٌ.
وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحَابُونَ، تَفْعَلُونَ خَطِيَّةً، مُوَبَّخِينَ مِنَ النَّامُوسِ كَمُتَعَدِّينَ.
وَأَمَّا الْمُعْتَبَرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ شَيْءٌ مَهْمَا كَانُوا، لاَ فَرْقَ عِنْدِي، اَللهُ لاَ يَأْخُذُ بِوَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ فَإِنَّ هؤُلاَءِ الْمُعْتَبَرِينَ لَمْ يُشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ.
