Acts 5:32

30 ^aThe God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by ^bhanging on a tree.

31 ^aHim God has exalted to His right hand to be ^bPrince and ^cSavior, ^dto give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

32 And ^awe are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit ^bwhom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Gamaliel’s Advice

33 When they heard this, they were ^afurious and plotted to kill them.

34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named ^aGamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.

35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel,¹ take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men.

Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

<< Acts 5:31

Acts 5:33 >>

We are witnesses (hmeiv esmen marturev). As in Acts 2:32.

Things (rhmatwn). Literally, sayings, but like the Hebrew dabhar for "word" it is here used for "things."

And so is the Holy Ghost (kai to pneuma to agion). The word for "is" (estin) is not in the Greek, but this is plainly the meaning. Peter claims the witness of the Holy Spirit to the raising of Jesus Christ, God's Son, by the Father.
