Acts 3:13-15
New Catholic Bible

13 The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his servant[a] Jesus whom you handed over and disowned in the presence of Pilate after he had decided to release him. 14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 The author of life[b] you put to death, but God raised him from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.

Footnotes

  1. Acts 3:13 Servant: the Greek word can also be translated as “son” or “child” (see Acts 3:26; 4:25, 27, 30). However, scholars believe that the word “servant” fits in better with the underlying idea of Jesus as the suffering Servant of the Lord (Isa 52:13—53:12).
  2. Acts 3:15 Author of life: this may also be rendered as the “prince of life” or the “pioneer of life”—indicating Jesus as the originator of salvation.
