Acts 5:30 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. — This synonym for crucifying comes from the LXX. version of Deuteronomy 21:23, where it is used in a wider sense, including analogous forms of punishment, such as hanging or impaling. It meets us again in Peter’s speech to Cornelius (Acts 10:39. Comp. Galatians 3:13).
