Acts 5:30

Context
5:30 The God of our forefathers 1  raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree. 2 

1 tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”

2 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.
