2:29 “Brothers, 3 I can speak confidently 4 to you about our forefather 5 David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
1 sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
2 tn Heb “and they burned for him a large fire, very great.”
3 tn Since this represents a continuation of the address beginning in v.14 and continued in v. 22, “brothers” has been used here rather than a generic expression like “brothers and sisters.”
4 sn Peter’s certainty is based on well-known facts.
5 tn Or “about our noted ancestor,” “about the patriarch.”
