Commentary on Acts 2:29
Peter's rhetorical move - 'let me freely speak' (Greek 'meta parresías,' with boldness) - signals his shift from exposition to application. Acknowledging David's death and burial ('his sepulchre is with us unto this day') distinguishes patriarch from Messiah. The visible tomb proved David's words couldn't refer to himself, requiring prophetic interpretation. This hermeneutical principle - distinguishing personal experience from prophetic vision - unlocks Christocentric reading of the Psalms.
