Preaching in Solomon’s Portico

11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch awhich is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed.  
12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13 aThe God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, bglorified His Servant Jesus, whom you cdelivered up and ddenied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.  
14 But you denied athe Holy One band the Just, and casked for a murderer to be granted to you,  
15 and killed the Prince of life, awhom God raised from the dead, bof which we are witnesses.  
16 aAnd His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.  
17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that ayou did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

Acts 3:13

His servant Jesus (ton paida Ihsoun). This phrase occurs in Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 52:13 about the Messiah except the name "Jesus" which Peter adds, the first part of the quotation is from Exodus 3:6; 5:30. The LXX translated the Hebrew ebhedh by paiv, the servant of Jehovah being a Messianic designation. But the phrase "servant of God" (paiv qeou) is applied also to Israel (Luke 1:54) and to David (Luke 1:69; Acts 4:25). Paul terms himself doulov qeou (Titus 1:1). Paiv is just child (boy or girl), and it was also used of a slave (Matthew 8:6, Matthew 8:8, Matthew 8:13). But it is not here uiov (son) that Peter uses, but paiv. Luke quotes Peter as using it again in this Messianic sense in Acts 3:26; Acts 4:27, Acts 4:30.

Whom ye delivered up (on umeiv men paredwkate). Note emphatic use of umeiv (ye). No de to correspond to men. First aorist active (k aorist) plural indicative of paradidwmi (usual form paredote, second aorist).

When he (ekeinou). Emphatic pronoun, that one, in contrast with "ye" (umeiv), genitive absolute with krinantov, here the nearest word (Pilate), the latter.
