In Acts 5:30, what was Peter comparing to Deuteronomy 31?
Acts 5:30 records Peter saying the God of the fathers raised up Jesus, whom they slew and hanged on a tree. Peter was comparing that whole situation to Deuteronomy 31, not Deuteronomy 5, although the transcript does not detail the specific parallel.
Les teaches that in Acts 5:30, Peter declares that the God of the fathers raised up Jesus, whom they slew and hanged on a tree. Les initially thought the passage was Deuteronomy chapter 5, but during the break he looked it up and found it was actually Deuteronomy chapter 31. He tells listeners to look it up in their spare time, saying it is pretty self-evident that this is what Peter was comparing the whole situation to. The transcript does not provide the detailed content of that comparison.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
