Exegesis
The fronted demonstrative phrase touton ton Iesoun {τοῦτον τὸν Ἰησοῦν | toú-ton ton Iē-soûn} sets up a sharp contrast with the relative clause hon hymeis estaurosate {ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε | hòn hu-meîs es-tau-rō-sá-te}, where the explicit subject hymeis underscores the audience’s culpability in the crucifixion.
In context — Acts 2:36
Therefore, let the whole house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ .
