Verse 39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.
The scandal of the cross was emphasized by the words `hanging him on a tree'; but, in the apostolic preaching of that event, it is clear that they also grasped the glory of it: that "by his stripes" we are healed, and that "God laid on him" the iniquity of us all.
