How does AUTOS function in these three verses? I could not find much about these in Wallace.

Acts 2:22 (miracles, wonders, and signs) hOIS EPOIHSEN DI' AUTON hO QEOS EN MESWi hUMWN KAQWS AUTOI OIDATE.

Acts 2:36 ASFALWS OUN GINWSKETW PAS OIKOS ISRAHL hOTI KAI KURION AUTON KAI CRISTON EPOIHSEN hO QEOS, TOUTON TON IHSOUN hON hUMEIS ESTAURWSATE.

Romans 9:3 HUCOMHN GAR ANAQEMA EINAI AUTOS EGW APO TOU CRISTOU hUPER TWN ADELFWN MOU...

It doesn't *seem to me* that the KURION AUTON in Acts 2:36 fits either of these uses:
AUTOS DAUID (David himself) or hO AUTOS KURIOS (the same Lord). Also in this same verse I am hesitant to think that AUTON is the object of EPOIHSEN. Is AUTOS in these verses a type of intensive pronoun? Thanks.
