Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Acts 7:52

ἐγένεσθε for γεγένησθε with אABCDE.

52. τίνα κ.τ.λ., which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? Cf. the history 2 Chronicles 36:16, ‘they mocked the messengers of God and despised His words and misused His prophets.’ And Christ (Matthew 23:37) brought the same charge against Jerusalem, ‘thou that killest the prophets.’

τοῦ δικαίου, of the righteous One. Jesus is so named by St John (1 John 2:1), and the name also occurs with the same application Acts 3:14; Acts 22:14, where the same rendering should be given that the passages may be brought into due connexion.

ἐγένεσθε, ye are become. Thus proving yourselves true children of those who misused the prophets of old time.
