Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God, х andra (G435) apo (G575) tou (G3588) Theou (G2316) apodedeigmenon (G584) or apodedeigmenon (G584) apo (G575) tou (G3588) Theou (G2316)] - rather, 'proved to be from God,'
Among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves [also] know. (The "also" here х kai (G2532)] is evidently not of the genuine text.) The apostle's object is to show that Jesus of Nazareth, whom they deemed guilty of a blasphemous assumption of divine claims, was indeed divinely sent, and had, in a variety of ways, been divinely attested to be all that He claimed to be.
