Barnes' Notes
Verse 43. To him give, etc. Lk 24:27,44.

That through his name, etc. This was implied in what the prophets said. See Rom 10:11. It was not, indeed, expressly affirmed that they who believed in him should be pardoned; but this was implied in what they said. They promised a Messiah; and their religion consisted mainly in believing in a Messiah to come. See the reasoning of the apostle Paul in Rom 4.

(f) "To him" Lk 24:27 (+) "witness" "All the prophets bear testimony" (g) "whosoever believeth" Jn 3:14,16, Rom 10:11

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 43 To him give all the prophets witness - See Isa 9:6; Isa 52:7; Isa 53:5, Isa 53:6; Isa 59:20; Jer 31:34; Dan 9:24; Mic 7:18, etc.; and Zac 13:1. As Jesus Christ was the sum and substance of the law and the Mosaic dispensation, so all the prophets bore testimony, either directly or indirectly, to him; and, indeed, without him and the salvation he has promised, there is scarcely any meaning in the Mosaic economy, nor in most of the allusions of the prophets. Remission of sins - The phrase, αφεσις ἁμαρτιων, means simply the taking away of sins; and this does not refer to the guilt of sin merely, but also to its power, nature, and consequences. All that is implied in pardon of sin, destruction of its tyranny, and purification from its pollution, is here intended; and it is wrong to restrict such operations of mercy to pardon alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Acts 10:34-43

Acceptance cannot be obtained on any other ground than that of the covenant of mercy, through the atonement of Christ; but wherever true religion is found, God will accept it without regarding names or sects. The fear of God and works of righteousness are the substance of true religion, the effects of special grace. Though these are not the cause of a man's acceptance, yet they show it; and whatever may be wanting…
