Apg 13,27Kommentar zu Apostelgeschichte 13,27
Because they knew him not (τουτον αγνοησαντες).
First aorist active participle (causal) of αγνοεω, old verb, not to
know. Peter gives "ignorance" (αγνοια) as the excuse of the Jews in the
death of Christ (Acts 3:17) and Paul does the same about his conduct before his
conversion (
The voices of the prophets which are read (τας φωνας των προφητων τας αναγινωσκομενας). Object also of αγνοησαντες, though it could be the object of επληρωσαν (fulfilled) if κα is taken as "also". The "voices" were heard as they were read aloud each Sabbath in the synagogue. In their ignorant condemnation they fulfilled the prophecies about the suffering Messiah.
