Acts 5:31

5:31 God exalted him 1  to his right hand as Leader 2  and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 3 

Acts 13:23

13:23 From the descendants 4  of this man 5  God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, just as he promised. 6 

1 tn Grk “This one God exalted” (emphatic).

2 tn Or “Founder” (of a movement).

3 tn Or “to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.”

4 tn Or “From the offspring”; Grk “From the seed.”

sn From the descendants (Grk “seed”). On the importance of the seed promise involving Abraham, see Gal 3:6-29.

5 sn The phrase this man is in emphatic position in the Greek text.

6 tn Grk “according to [his] promise.” The comparative clause “just as he promised” is less awkward in English.

sn Just as he promised. Note how Paul describes Israel’s history carefully to David and then leaps forward immediately to Jesus. Paul is expounding the initial realization of Davidic promise as it was delivered in Jesus.
