Context

you will make me full of joy with your presence. 1 

Acts 3:15

Context
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

Context
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.”
