In Acts 2:23, προσπήξαντες is an aorist active masculine nominative plural participle within the action directed toward “This one.” The APB renders the clause “you nailed to a cross by the hand of lawless men and killed,” confirming the cross-directed fastening described in the verse.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 2:23, the APB presents the action as “you nailed to a cross.” This rendering confirms the clause's overall action rather than isolating each element of the Greek form.
