Acts 3:16

3:16 his name. The “name” includes many names, each of which indicates a vital truth concerning Him. Note the following, in the immediate context: “His Son Jesus” (Acts 3:13); “the Holy One and the Just” (Acts 3:14); “The Prince of life” (Acts 3:15); “[His] Christ” (Acts 3:18); “the Lord” (Acts 3:19); and “a prophet” (Acts 3:22). In addition to these, many other names and titles are ascribed in Scripture to Christ. See, for example, John 1:1-34 (Word, Light, Lamb of God, Son of God, etc.) and Isaiah 9:6 (Wonderful Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace), in addition to His full name, so to speak, the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:36).
