Nota de Estudo

Study Note

Peter's accusation in the Temple portico — 'ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer' — employs two messianic titles (Holy One/hagiou, Just/dikaion) that echo Old Testament usage and early christological confession. 'Holy One' appears in Isaiah 40–55 as a divine epithet for YHWH and in Acts 2:27 (citing Psalm 16:10) as applied to Jesus, while 'Just' (dikaios) connects to the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53:11. The contrast with Barabbas as 'murderer' employs the rhetorical device of antithesis — life-giver versus murderer — to heighten the moral absurdity of the crowd's choice. The speech belongs to Luke's pattern of presenting the Jerusalem community with repeated opportunities for repentance (2:38; 3:19; 5:31) before the mission pivots to the Gentiles.
