Key observations: - γενόμενος (genomenos): aorist middle participle, "having become" — Christ became a curse - κατάρα (nom sg f): anarthrous predicate nominative — qualitative force ("a curse") - κρεμάμενος: present middle participle — "the one hanging" (habitual/gnomic) - ξύλου: genitive singular — "on a tree" (epi + genitive = location/surface)
Acts 5:30¶
Greek Text: ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἤγειρεν Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ὑμεῖς διεχειρίσασθε κρεμάσαντες ἐπὶ ξύλου·

| ὑμεῖς | σύ | G4771 | P-2NP Nom Pl — "YOU (emphatic)" |
| διεχειρίσασθε | διαχειρίζω | G1315 | V-AMI-2P Aor Mid Ind — "you killed/dispatched" |

| ἐπὶ ξύλου | ξύλον | G3586 | N-GSN Gen Sg N — "on a tree" |
Key observations: - ὑμεῖς (hymeis): emphatic second person plural — "YOU" — direct accusation - διεχειρίσασθε: aorist middle, "you dispatched/killed with your own hands" (G1315, only 2x in NT: Acts 5:30 and 26:21) - κρεμάσαντες: aorist ACTIVE participle — "having hanged" — the accusers are the agents of the hanging - Construction: relative clause (hon hymeis diecheirisasthe) + participial apposition (kremasantes epi xylou) = accusatory formula
Acts 10:39¶
Greek Text: καὶ ἡμεῖς μάρτυρες πάντων ὧν ἐποίησεν ἔν τε τῇ χώρᾳ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· ὃν καὶ ἀνεῖλαν κρεμάσαντες ἐπὶ ξύλου.
| Word | Lemma | Strong's | Parsing |
|---|---|---|---|
| ἡμεῖς | ἐγώ | G1473 | P-1NP Nom Pl — "we (are witnesses)" |
| ὃν | ὅς | G3739 | R-ASM Acc Sg M |
| καὶ | καί | G2532 | CONJ — "also/even" |
| ἀνεῖλαν | ἀναιρέω | G337 | V-2AAI-3P Aor Act Ind Pl 3rd — "THEY killed" |
| κρεμάσαντες | κρεμάννυμι | G2910 | V-AAP-NPM Aor Act Ptcp Nom Pl M — "having hanged" |
| ἐπὶ ξύλου | ξύλον | G3586 | N-GSN Gen Sg N |
Key observations: - ἀνεῖλαν: THIRD person plural — "they killed" (not "you killed" as in Acts 5:30) - Same kremasantes epi xylou formula as Acts 5:30, but with different killing verb (anaireo G337 vs. diacheirizomai G1315) and different person (3rd vs. 2nd) - Henry's observation confirmed: Peter shifts from "whom YOU killed" (5:30, Jewish audience) to "whom THEY killed" (10:39, Gentile audience)
Acts 13:29¶
Greek Text: ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα, καθελόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου ἔθηκαν εἰς μνημεῖον.
| Word | Lemma | Strong's | Parsing |
|---|---|---|---|
| ἐτέλεσαν | τελέω | G5055 | V-AAI-3P Aor Act Ind — "they fulfilled" |
| γεγραμμένα | γράφω | G1125 | V-RPP-APN Perf Pass Ptcp — "having been written" |
| καθελόντες | καθαιρέω | G2507 | V-2AAP-NPM Aor Act Ptcp — "having taken down" |
| ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου | ξύλον | G3586 | N-GSN Gen Sg N — "from the tree" |
| ἔθηκαν | τίθημι | G5087 | V-AAI-3P Aor Act Ind — "they placed" |
| εἰς μνημεῖον | μνημεῖον | G3419 | N-ASN Acc Sg N — "in a tomb" |
Key observations: - Paul's version uses DIFFERENT vocabulary from Peter's: no kremannymi; instead kathaireō ("take down") + apo ("from") the xylon - Uses xylon (the tree) not stauros (the cross) - Focus is on REMOVAL from the tree and burial — connects to Deut 21:23 sundown requirement - "All things that were written" (panta ta peri autou gegrammena) explicitly frames the events as Scripture fulfillment
1 Peter 2:24¶
Greek Text: ὃς τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν αὐτὸς ἀνήνεγκεν ἐν τῷ σώματι αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον, ἵνα ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ ζήσωμεν· οὗ τῷ μώλωπι ἰάθητε.

|---|---|---|---|
| ὃς | ὅς | G3739 | R-NSM Nom Sg M |
| τὰς ἁμαρτίας | ἁμαρτία | G266 | N-APF Acc Pl F — "the sins" (direct object) |
| ἡμῶν | ἐγώ | G1473 | P-1GP Gen Pl — "of us" |
| αὐτὸς | αὐτός | G846 | P-NSM Nom Sg M — "he himself" (emphatic) |
| ἀνήνεγκεν | ἀναφέρω | G399 | V-AAI-3S Aor Act Ind — "bore up / offered up" |
| ἐν τῷ σώματι | σῶμα | G4983 | N-DSN Dat Sg N — "in the body" |
| αὐτοῦ | αὐτός | G846 | P-GSM Gen Sg M — "of him" |
| ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον | ξύλον | G3586 | N-ASN Acc Sg N — "onto the tree" |
| ἵνα | ἵνα | G2443 | CONJ — purpose clause |
| ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις | ἁμαρτία | G266 | N-DPF Dat Pl F — "to sins" (dative of reference) |
| ἀπογενόμενοι | ἀπογίνομαι | G581 | V-2ADP-NPM Aor Mid Ptcp — "having died to" |
| τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ | δικαιοσύνη | G1343 | N-DSF Dat Sg F — "to/for righteousness" |
| ζήσωμεν | ζάω | G2198 | V-AAS-1P Aor Act Subj — "we might live" |
| οὗ τῷ μώλωπι | μώλωψ | G3468 | N-DSM Dat Sg M — "by whose stripe/wound" |
| ἰάθητε | ἰάομαι | G2390 | V-API-2P Aor Pass Ind — "you were healed" |
Key observations: - ἀνήνεγκεν (anenēnken): G399 anaphero — priestly offering verb ("bore upward"), same word used for offering sacrifices (Heb 7:27, 1 Pet 2:5) - ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον: epi + ACCUSATIVE (motion toward/onto) — different from Acts/Galatians which use epi + GENITIVE (location/surface). Peter uses the accusative to express directional bearing of sins ONTO the tree. - αὐτὸς: intensive pronoun — "he HIMSELF" — emphasizes personal, voluntary action - ἀπογενόμενοι: G581, only here in NT (hapax) — "having ceased to exist with respect to" sins - μώλωπι: singular "stripe/wound" — direct allusion to Isaiah 53:5 LXX - Three frameworks converge: priestly bearing (anaphero), Deuteronomic curse (epi to xylon), Isaianic suffering servant (mōlōps)
John 19:31¶
Greek Text: Οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι, ἐπεὶ Παρασκευὴ ἦν, ἵνα μὴ μείνῃ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ τὰ σώματα ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ...
| Word | Lemma | Strong's | Parsing |
|---|---|---|---|
| μείνῃ | μένω | G3306 | V-AAS-3S — "might remain" |
| ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ | σταυρός | G4716 | N-GSM Gen Sg M — "on the CROSS" |
| σαββάτῳ | σάββατον | G4521 | N-DSN Dat Sg N — "on the sabbath" |
Key observation: - John uses σταυροῦ (stauros), NOT ξύλον (xylon). The word choice here is purely narrative — no Deuteronomic curse invocation. John frames the removal request as Sabbath/festival purity (Paraskeue = "Preparation"), not as Deut 21:23 compliance. - The request is that bodies not "remain" (μείνῃ) on the cross — echoing Deut 21:23 "his body shall not remain all night upon the tree" — but John does not cite or quote Deuteronomy.
Colossians 2:14¶
Greek Text: ἐξαλείψας τὸ καθ' ἡμῶν χειρόγραφον τοῖς δόγμασιν ὃ ἦν ὑπεναντίον ἡμῖν, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦρκεν ἐκ τοῦ μέσου, προσηλώσας αὐτὸ τῷ σταυρῷ·
| Word | Lemma | Strong's | Parsing |
|---|---|---|---|
| ἐξαλείψας | ἐξαλείφω | G1813 | V-AAP-NSM Aor Act Ptcp — "having blotted out" |
| χειρόγραφον | χειρόγραφον | G5498 | N-ASN Acc Sg N — "handwriting/certificate of debt" |
| δόγμασιν | δόγμα | G1378 | N-DPN Dat Pl N — "in/by ordinances" |
| ἦρκεν | αἴρω | G142 | V-RAI-3S Perf Act Ind — "has taken" |
| προσηλώσας | προσηλόω | G4338 | V-AAP-NSM Aor Act Ptcp — "having nailed" |
| τῷ σταυρῷ | σταυρός | G4716 | N-DSM Dat Sg M — "to the cross" |
Key observation: - Paul uses σταυρῷ (stauros) here, not xylon. Col 2:14 is about nailing the cheirographon (debt certificate) to the cross — a legal-metaphorical use. This is NOT a Deut 21:23 passage. The complementary distribution holds: xylon = curse invocation, stauros = cross-as-event/instrument.
