Acts 3:15

15 You killed ^{▼▼ Or “You put to death.”} the Originator ^{▼▼ Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”} of life, whom God raised ^{▼▼ Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.} from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! ^{▼▼ 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.} ^{▼▼ We are witnesses. Note the two witnesses here, Peter and John (Acts 5:32; Heb 2:3–4).}
