“Who his [Christ’s] own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree” (1 Peter ii, 24).
The Epistles of Peter are devoted largely to Christ’s suffering and death, but no mention is made of his crucifixion. The words “cross” and “crucify” are not to be found in them. In Acts Peter speaks of Jesus’ death as follows:
“Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree” (v, 30).
“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth ... whom they slew and hanged on a tree” (x, 38, 93).
