Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 5:31

_ _ Prince and a Saviour — the first word expressing that Royalty which all Israel looked for in Messiah, the second the Saving character of it which they had utterly lost sight of. Each of these features in our Lord’s work enters into the other, and both make one glorious whole (compare Acts 3:15; Hebrews 2:10).

_ _ to give — dispensing as a “Prince.”

_ _ repentance and remission of sins — as a “Savior”; “repentance” embracing all that change which issues in the faith which secures “forgiveness” (compare Acts 2:38; Acts 20:21). How gloriously is Christ here exhibited; not, as in other places, as the Medium, but as the Dispenser of all spiritual blessings!

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 5:26-42.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 5:31

Him hath God exalted — From the grave to heaven; to give repentance — Whereby Jesus is received as a Prince; and forgiveness of sins — Whereby he is received as a Saviour. Hence some infer, that repentance and faith are as mere gifts as remission of sins. Not so: for man co — operates in the former, but not in the latter. God alone forgives sins.
