Acts 10:39

“And we are witnesses of all things, etc.] That is, Peter, and the rest of the apostles, were witnesses, even eyewitnesses, of Christ’s going about from place to place, and of the good he did every where, and of the miracles which he wrought; and even of every thing which he did both in the land of the Jews; which takes in not only Judea, but Galilee, and beyond Jordan; and in Jerusalem; the metropolis of Judea: whom they slew and hanged on a tree; whom the Jews put to death; for since it was by their instigation, and at their request, it is ascribed to them; and who not content with any death, desired he might be crucified, or hanged on a tree; partly because of the pain and torture of it,…”

“we are witnesses of all . . . he did--not objects of superstitious reverence, but simply witnesses to the great historical facts on which the Gospel is founded. slew and hanged--that is, slew by hanging. on a tree--So Act 5:30 (and see on Gal 3:13).”

“And we are witnesses - We who are apostles. See the notes on Luke 24:48. In the land of the Jews - In the country of Judea. Whom they slew ... - Our translation would seem to imply that there were two separate acts - first executing him, and then suspending him. But this is neither according to truth nor to the Greek text. The original is simply, “whom they put to death, suspending him on a tree.” On a tree - On a cross.
