Acts 10:39
Compare all
37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and abegan from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:  
38 how aGod anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who bwent about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, cfor God was with Him.  
39 And we are awitnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom1 they bkilled by hanging on a tree.  
40 Him aGod raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,  
41 anot to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us bwho ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  
42 And aHe commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify bthat it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge cof the living and the dead.  
43 aTo Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, bwhoever believes in Him will receive cremission of sins.”

Acts 10:39

And we are witnesses (kai hmeiv marturev). Compare "ye yourselves know" (verse Acts 10:37). Peter thus appeals to what the audience know and to what the disciples know. He made the same claim about personal witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus at Pentecost (Acts 2:32). Here Peter affirms full knowledge of the work of Jesus in Judea (for whole country including Galilee and Perea) and Jerusalem (given mainly in John's Gospel). In the Greek wn (which) is attracted into the genitive case to agree with the antecedent pantwn (all), a common enough idiom.

Whom also they slew (on kai aneilan). Second aorist active indicative of anairew with a as often in Acts (Acts 2:23; Acts 5:30). But note kai (also) in the old MSS., not in the Textus Receptus. They "also" slew him, went that far, "this crowning atrocity" (Vincent), kai could here be "even."

Hanging him on a tree (kremasantev epi culou). This same expression used by Peter in Acts 5:30 which see for discussion.
