Acts 5:30-32
New English Translation
30 The God of our forefathers[a] raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree.[b] 31 God exalted him[c] to his right hand as Leader[d] and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.[e] 32 And we are witnesses of these events,[f] and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey[g] him.”

- Acts 5:30 tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”
- Acts 5:30 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.
- Acts 5:31 tn Grk “This one God exalted” (emphatic).
- Acts 5:31 tn Or “Founder” (of a movement).
- Acts 5:31 tn Or “to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.”
- Acts 5:32 tn Or “things.” They are preaching these things even to the hostile leadership.
- Acts 5:32 sn Those who obey. The implication, of course, is that the leadership is disobeying God.
