Acts5:30
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
This is the rather mentioned by the Apostle, that they might not think our Saviour, or they his Ministers, Preached any other God unto them, but him whom they had worshipped from their fore-fathers.
A tree, or wood, which is rather mentioned than a Cross, that the allusion to Deut. 21.23. might be more full; where he that is hanged on a tree is accursed; and in that Christ was made a curse for us, Gal. 3.13.
