Footnotes

  1. 81 Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”
  2. 82 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.
  3. 83 Grk “This one God exalted” (emphatic).
  4. 84 Or “Founder” (of a movement).
  5. 85 Or “to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.”
