Acts 5:30

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

1Ch 12:17; 1Ch 29:18; Ezr 7:27; Lu 1:55,72; Ac 2:22-24,32; Ac 3:13-15; Ac 3:26; Ac 4:10,11; Ac 10:39; Ac 13:28; Ac 13:33; Ac 22:14; Ga 3:13; 1Pe 2:24

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.
