Verse 39. And we are witnesses. We who are apostles. See Barnes |Lu 24:48|.
In the land of the Jews. In the country of Judea.
Whom they slew, etc. Our translation would seem to imply that there were two separate acts -- first slaying him, and then suspending him. But this is neither according to truth nor to the Greek text. The original is simply, |whom they put to death, suspending him on a tree.|
On a tree. On a cross. See Barnes |Ac 5:30|.
{h} |we are witnesses| Lu 24:48; Ac 2:32 {§} |tree| |cross|
