Brothers, children of Abraham,
This phrase addresses the Jewish audience, emphasizing their shared heritage as descendants of Abraham. It highlights the covenant relationship God established with Abraham, which is foundational to Jewish identity (Genesis 12:1-3). The term "brothers" signifies a familial bond, underscoring the unity among the Jewish people.

and you Gentiles who fear God,
This refers to the God-fearing Gentiles, non-Jews who worshiped the God of Israel and adhered to certain Jewish practices without full conversion. This inclusion reflects the early church's mission to reach both Jews and Gentiles, as seen in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). It also fulfills the prophecy ofIsaiah 49:6, where the Messiah is a light to the Gentiles.

it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
The "message of salvation" refers to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which offers redemption and reconciliation with God. This message was first delivered to the Jews, as seen inRomans 1:16, but is also extended to the Gentiles, fulfilling God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham's seed (Genesis 22:18). The phrase "has been sent" indicates divine initiative and purpose, aligning with God's redemptive plan throughout history.

What Does Acts 13:26 Mean
Brothers

Paul opens with a family word that immediately draws everyone close. By saying “Brothers,” he:

• Places himself on the same level as his hearers (Acts 13:15).

• Echoes Jesus, who “is not ashamed to call them brothers” (Hebrews 2:11).

• Models the unity Christ prayed for (John 17:20–21).

The greeting reminds us that Christian fellowship rests on shared faith, not social rank or background.

children of Abraham

Now Paul narrows in on ethnic Israel. “Children of Abraham” are the physical descendants through whom God first unfolded His promises:

•Genesis 12:2–3—“I will make you into a great nation… and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

•Romans 9:4–5—Israel “theirs are the covenants, the giving of the Law, the worship, and the promises.”

•John 8:39—Jesus acknowledges Abrahamic lineage yet calls for true, living faith.

Paul honors the covenant line while preparing to show how those promises reach their fulfillment in Jesus.

and you Gentiles who fear God

The circle widens again to embrace “God-fearers”—non-Jewish worshipers who revered Israel’s God but had not fully converted. Luke highlights them elsewhere:

• Cornelius, “a devout man and God-fearing” (Acts 10:2).

• Lydia, “a worshiper of God” (Acts 16:14).

• Many in Thessalonica who believed (Acts 17:4).

By naming them, Paul shows the door of salvation already swinging open to the nations, just as Isaiah foresaw (Isaiah 49:6).

it is to us

Notice the inclusive pronoun. Jew and Gentile together stand in the spotlight of God’s gracious plan:

•Acts 3:25–26—The promise is “to you first,” yet intended for “all peoples.”

•Romans 1:16—“It is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and then to the Greek.”

•Ephesians 2:14—Christ “has made the two one.”

The gospel is not a relic reserved for a select few; it is a present-tense gift for all who will receive it.

that this message of salvation has been sent

The climax: God has taken the initiative. “Message” (literally “word”) underscores proclamation; “salvation” identifies the content. Key echoes:

•John 3:17—“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”

•Acts 4:12—“There is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved.”

•1 John 4:14—“The Father sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.”

To “send” implies divine mission, authority, and urgency. Refusing or neglecting such a message is therefore unthinkable.

summary

Acts 13:26 is a beautifully layered address. Paul:

• Welcomes his listeners as family.

• Honors the Abrahamic line while extending hope to the Gentile seeker.

• Declares that the long-promised rescue has arrived—sent by God Himself—and belongs to “us,” Jew and Gentile alike.

The verse invites every reader today to stand under that same gracious announcement and trust the Savior who was sent for all.

(26)Children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God.--The two classes are, as before (see Note onActs 13:16), again pointedly contrasted with each other.

To you is the word of this salvation sent.--The demonstrative pronoun implies that the salvation which St. Paul proclaimed rested on the work of Jesus the Saviour (Acts 13:23), and was found in union with Him. (Comp. "this life" inActs 5:20.)

Verse 26.- Brethren formen and brethren, A.V., as ver. 15;those among you that fear forwhosoever among you feareth, A.V.;to us forto you, A.V. and T.R.;sent forth forsent, A.V. and T.R. The same address in substance as that in ver. 16, comprising the Jews and the devout heathen. To us; see ver. 33; but on the other hand (ver. 38), "to you," seems preferable. This salvation proceeding from the Savior, mentioned in ver. 23 (comp.Acts 10:36, "The word which God sent").
