What Deuteronomy chapter is Peter referring to in Acts 5:30?
The Deuteronomy passage behind Acts 5:30 is Deuteronomy chapter 31, not chapter 5. The speaker initially thought it was Deuteronomy 5, but after checking during a break corrected it to Deuteronomy 31, noting that Peter was comparing the situation to that chapter. This correction clarifies the intended Old Testament cross-reference.
Les explains that when dealing with Acts 5:30, he had said he thought it was Deuteronomy chapter 5, but he looked it up during the break and found it was actually Deuteronomy chapter 31. He encourages listeners to look it up in their own spare time, saying it is pretty self-evident that this is what Peter was comparing the whole situation to.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
