Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 40. - He testified, and exhorted for did he testify and exhort, A.V.; crooked for untoward, A.V. Save yourselves, etc. The idea is that the crooked generation which denied and crucified the Lord is hurrying on to their destruction. Those who would not perish with them must come out from amongst them and be separate from them (2 Corinthians 6:19), and seek safely in the ark of Christ's Church (1 Peter 3:21), as Noah did in the ark, and as Lot did in Zoar. So the jailer at Philippi, seeking to be saved, was baptized straightway (Acts 16:30-33). This was the drift and end of all St. Peter's exhortations.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(40) With many other words.--The report breaks off, as if St. Luke's informant had followed closely up to this point and then lost count of the sequence of thought and words.Did he testify--i.e., continued to testify.Save yourselves.--Literally, in the passive, Be ye saved. They were invited to submit to God's way of salvation, to accept Jesus as their Saviour.From this untoward generation.--Literally, from this crooked generation, as the word is rendered in Luke 3:5; Philippians 2:15.
