It connects to the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—underscoring the fulfillment of God's promises. This continuity is crucial for understanding the early Christian message as a fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and tradition.raised up Jesus "Raised up" refers to the resurrection, a central tenet of Christian faith. The resurrection is seen as God's vindication of Jesus, affirming His divine nature and mission. This act fulfills Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, which speaks of God not allowing His Holy One to see decay. The resurrection is also a cornerstone for the apostolic preaching in Acts.whom you had killed This phrase directly addresses the responsibility of the Jewish leaders and people in the death of Jesus. It reflects the tension between the early Christians and the Jewish authorities. This accusation is consistent with the narrative in the Gospels, where the religious leaders conspired to have Jesus crucified. It also serves as a call to repentance for those who were complicit.by hanging Him on a tree "Hanging on a tree" is a reference to crucifixion, which was a Roman method of execution. The phrase echoes <a href="/deuteronomy/21-22.htm">Deuteronomy 21:22-23</a>, where being hanged on a tree is associated with being cursed by God. This connection is significant in understanding the theological implications of Jesus' death, as Paul later explains in <a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a>, stating that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.
