“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
'Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.' — the climax of Peter's sermon declares Jesus' divine office: Lord (kyrios, divine title) and Christ (christos, Messiah, anointed king). The 'whom you crucified' (houn hymeislytrontes, whom you put to death, active complicity) charges the audience with guilt but opens the possibility of repentance. The declaration is scandalous: the crucified criminal is Lord of all.
