3:15 You killed ²  the Originator ³  of life, whom God raised ⁴  from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! ⁵ 

Acts 5:20

5:20 “Go and stand in the temple courts ⁶  and proclaim ⁷  to the people all the words of this life.”

---

¹ sn A quotation from Ps 16:8-11.

² tn Or “You put to death.”

³ tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”

⁴ sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.

⁵ tn Grk “whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” The two consecutive relative clauses make for awkward English style, so the second was begun as a new sentence with the words “to this fact” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun to make a complete sentence in English.

sn We are witnesses. Note the two witnesses here, Peter and John (Acts 5:32; Heb 2:3-4).

⁶ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

⁷ tn Or “speak.”
