Acts 2:23

23 this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed ^{▼▼ Or “you killed.”} by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles. ^{▼▼ Grk “at the hands of lawless men.” At this point the term ἄνομος (anomos) refers to non-Jews who live outside the Jewish (Mosaic) law, rather than people who broke any or all laws including secular laws. Specifically it is a reference to the Roman soldiers who carried out Jesus’ crucifixion.}
