Perrydox.com is devoted to the pursuit of truth, whether plain or paradoxical, whether simple or sublime, or simply absurd yet absolute.
Acts 5:30 – NASB vs. HCSB vs. ESV
Acts 5:30 NASB “The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.
Acts 5:30 HCSB The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had murdered by hanging Him on a tree.
Acts 5:30 ESV The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
The most literal translation here (i.e., NASB) is not the most literal. There is another word for cross (stauros). The word here though (xulon) is correctly translated “tree” by the HCSB and the ESV. See also Acts 10:39.
