Acts 3

NET

15 You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses!


Darby

15 but the originatorD7734 of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof *we* are witnesses.


Darby Bible Notes

originator - This word is difficult to render in English. It is a 'leader,' but it is more. It is used for one who begins and sets a matter on. The Greek word occurs four times in the New Testament, here and ch. 5.31; Heb. 2.10; 12.2. In Heb. 12.2 it means, 'he began and finished the whole course;' 'the origin' or 'originator,' though the word is harsh in connexion with life. The word is only used of our Lord.


KJV

15 And killed the PrinceK6751of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
