how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
The power Christ wielded came from the Spirit alone; the Father furnished His Son with the Spirit's strength. His miracles showed not God's fearful might but gracious goodness, meant to draw the world to love and desire Him. The anointing consecrated Him king and priest by His Father's hand.
AI summary
Peter opened his mouth with freedom and weight, as a man who had been locked silent to the uncircumcised until God opened it. He first establishes what must be clear or neither he nor they could preach or hear with comfort: God respects no man's person, but judges by merit alone, and so the Gospel belongs to Gentile and Jew equally.

Commenting on Acts 10:34-43
God anointed Him to declare Him the Messiah promised to the Jews. The Spirit came upon Him without measure at His baptism, signified by the dove; this anointing belongs to His office, from which He is called the Christ. None but God the Father can anoint with the Holy Ghost.
