Acts 2:23

Context
2:23 this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed 1  by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles. 2 

1 tn Or “you killed.”

2 tn Grk “at the hands of lawless men.” At this point the term ἄνομος (anomo") refers to non-Jews who live outside the Jewish (Mosaic) law, rather than people who broke any or all laws including secular laws. Specifically it is a reference to the Roman soldiers who carried out Jesus’ crucifixion.
