1 tn Or “You put to death.”
2 tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”
3 sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.
4 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).
5 tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”
6 tn Or “by crucifying him” (“hang on a tree” is by the time of the first century an idiom for crucifixion). The allusion is to the judgment against Jesus as a rebellious figure, appealing to the language of Deut 21:23. The Jewish leadership has badly “misjudged” Jesus.
