To me, the real problem is that period, which was added by Ropes. Take it
out, and replace it with a comma: PEIQARCEIN DE QEO MALLON H ANQRWPOIS, hO
DE PETROS EIPEN PROS AUTOUS - "we must obey God rather than men", said Peter
to him, "the God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by
hanging on a cross..."
