Commentary on Acts 3:17
Peter shows pastoral wisdom: 'through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.' This doesn't excuse guilt but opens a door for repentance. Ignorance mitigates though doesn't eliminate responsibility. Peter offers hope - their sin, though great, is not beyond forgiveness.
