The English translation you are using of Acts reads something into the text that isn't there in the Greek--the Greek word means "to affix to a cross" but doesn't indicate whether a nail is involved or not. On the other hand, the Greek texts of John 20.25 and Colossians 2.14 do show that nails were used. See my post #129 on thread 1081493 (there is a link at post #7 of this thread).

Thanks for the clarification, Verg. I am not a student of the original languages, obviously. :)
