Commentary on Acts 2:23
This verse presents the paradox of divine sovereignty and human responsibility. Jesus was 'delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God' - His crucifixion was ordained before creation (Revelation 13:8). Yet perpetrators acted 'by wicked hands' and are culpable. This mystery safeguards both God's absolute control over history and human moral accountability. The Greek 'horismene boule' (determinate counsel) indicates settled divine decree, not mere permission.
