Acts 2:24

2:24 But God raised him up, ¹  having released ²  him from the pains ³  of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power. ⁴ 

Acts 2:32

2:32 This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. ⁵ 

Acts 3:15

3:15 You killed ⁶  the Originator ⁷  of life, whom God raised ⁸  from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! ⁹ 

Acts 4:10

4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ ¹⁰  the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands before you healthy.

¹ tn Grk “Whom God raised up.”

² tn Or “having freed.”

³ sn The term translated pains is frequently used to describe pains associated with giving birth (see Rev 12:2). So there is irony here in the mixed metaphor.

⁴ tn Or “for him to be held by it” (in either case, “it” refers to death’s power).

⁵ tn Or “of him”; Grk “of which [or whom] we are all witnesses” (Acts 1:8).

⁶ tn Or “You put to death.”

⁷ tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”

⁸ sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.

⁹ 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.

¹⁰ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
