3:15 You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses!

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Act 3:15

¹ tn Or “You put to death.”

² tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”

³ sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.

⁴ tn Grk “whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” The two consecutive relative clauses make for awkward English style, so the second was begun as a new sentence with the words “to this fact” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun to make a complete sentence in English.

sn We are witnesses. Note the two witnesses here, Peter and John (Acts 5:32; Heb 2:3-4).
