From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 32. And we. We who are present. Paul and Barnabas. Declare unto you glad tidings We preach the gospel--the good news. To a Jew, nothing could be more grateful intelligence than that the Messiah had come; to a sinner convinced of his sins, nothing can be more cheering than to hear of a Saviour. The promises, etc. The promise here refers to all that had been spoken in the Old Testament respecting the advent, sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ. {a} "promise" Ro 4:13 __________________________________________________________________
