A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 5:30

"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree." — Acts 5:30 (ASV)

Ye slew (διεχειρισασθε). First aorist middle indicative of διαχειριζομα, old verb from δια and χειρ (hand), to take in hand, manage, to lay hands on, manhandle, kill. In the N.T. only here and Ac 26:21.

Hanging him upon a tree (κρεμασαντες επ ξυλου). First aorist active participle of κρεμαννυμ (κρεμαννυω seen already in Mt 18:6 and Lu 23:39). Peter refers to De 21:23 as Paul does in Ga 3:13, the curse pronounced on every one who "hangs upon a tree."
