Translation Note
ἐποίησεν is ποιέω, aorist active indicative, 3rd person singular. The King James reads “God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” The Textus Receptus keeps ἐποίησεν. The word order differs: the SBL text has καὶ κύριον αὐτὸν καὶ χριστὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ θεός, and the Textus Receptus has καὶ κύριον καὶ χριστὸν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός, ἐποίησεν.
Peter has just quoted Psalm 110:1, the LORD speaking to David’s lord. The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “God made him both Lord and Christ” and “executed on a stake.” Made, in this verse, is the exaltation Peter has been describing, Lord and Christ, not a claim that Jesus came into existence that day.
King James Version. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
