‏ Acts 5:30

 Ye slew ( διεχειρισασθε ). First aorist middle indicative of  διαχειριζομα, old verb from  δια and  χειρ (hand), to take in hand, manage, to lay hands on, manhandle, kill. In the N.T. only here and Ac 26:21.

 Hanging him upon a tree ( κρεμασαντες επ ξυλου ). First aorist active participle of  κρεμαννυμ ( κρεμαννυω seen already in Mt 18:6 and Lu 23:39). Peter refers to De 21:23 as Paul does in Ga 3:13, the curse pronounced on every one who "hangs upon a tree."
