The Climactic Accusation
Multiple commentators describe this verse as the powerful climax of Peter's sermon. He directly confronts the crowd by stating that the very Jesus 'whom you crucified' has been exalted by God. Scholars like Calvin and Spurgeon note that this sharp, personal accusation was intended to 'prick' or 'wound' their hearts, forcing them to recognize the gravity of their sin in rejecting and killing their own Messiah.
