Acts 5:30

30 The God of our forefathers ^{▼▼ Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”} raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree. ^{▼▼ Or “by crucifying him” (“hang on a tree” is by the time of the first century an idiom for crucifixion). The allusion is to the judgment against Jesus as a rebellious figure, appealing to the language of Deut 21:23. The Jewish leadership has badly “misjudged” Jesus.}
