Contextual Overview

¹⁴ But going through from Perga, they came to Antioch-Pisidia, and going into the synagogue on the day of the sabbaths, they sat down. ¹⁵ And after the reading of the Law, and of the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, Men, brothers, if there is a word of exhortation to the people, speak. ¹⁶ And rising up, and signaling with his hand, Paul said, Men, Israelites, and the ones fearing God, listen. ¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose out our fathers, and exalted the people in their stay in the land of Egypt. And with a high arm, He led them out of it. ¹⁸ And as forty years time passed , He tenderly bore them in the wilderness. Deut. 1:31 ¹⁹ And He pulled down seven nations in Canaan land, and gave their land to them as an inheritance. Deut. 7:1 ²⁰ And after these things, as four hundred and fifty years passed , He gave judges until Samuel the prophet. ²¹ And from there they asked for a king. And God gave Saul the son of Kish to them, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. ²² And removing him, He raised up to them David for a king, to whom He also said, witnessing, "I found David" the son of Jesse "to be a man according to My own heart, who willdo all My will." 1 Samuel 13:14; Psa.89:20; LXX-Isa. 44:28 ²³ Of the seed of this one, according to promise, God raised up to Israel a Savior, Jesus;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And we declare unto you glad tidings,.... The whole of the Gospel, concerning the incarnation, obedience, sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ, and the benefits arising from thence, as peace, pardon, righteousness, life, and salvation; all which are good news and glad tidings to sensible sinners; and which are declared and published by the ministers of the Gospel, according to the commission given them, as here by Paul and Barnabas:

how that the promise which was made unto the fathers; not barely and solely that which respects the resurrection of Christ, but the mission of him, the exhibition of him in human nature, his incarnation, his work and business he was to do, namely, to obtain salvation for his people; it chiefly regards the promise of his coming into the world to do the will of God, which promise was made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah, Genesis 22:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And we - We who are here 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 promise ... - The promise here refers to all that had been spoken in the Old Testament respecting the advent, sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. We declare unto you glad tidings — We proclaim that Gospel to you which is the fulfilment of the promise made unto the fathers.
