NET Notes

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.

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