Why would Luke word it this way?

[Elijah John]

Acts 2:22-24 New International Version (NIV)
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[a] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.

Note, in this passage Luke never makes the Trinitarian distinction of referring to God as "Father" and Jesus as "God the Son". Instead, Luke has Peter referring to God only as "God" and Jesus as a "man", making a clear distinction between the two.

For debate, if Jesus was God, or if Luke and Peter believed that Jesus was God, why would either of them word it this way in this passage from Acts, making a clear distinction between God and the man Jesus?

... in John 2:19 which means arousing, as from sleep or death.

The word has a much wider range than you seem to be suggesting; may I suggest a good concordance?

The link you provided gives these definitions:

LSJ: to awaken, wake up, rouse

Dodson:
I wake, arouse, raise up
(a) I wake, arouse, (b) I raise up.

Strong's:
to waken (transitively or intransitively), i.e. rouse (literally, from sleep, from sitting or lying, from disease, from death; or figuratively, from obscurity, inactivity, ruins, nonexistence)

I do not see ‘stand up’ in there anywhere. But I see lots and lots of ‘waken’ and ‘rouse’. And I still see that the verb Jesus uses is active voice, first person singular.

John often conflates Jesus and God (the Father) yet does not exactly identify them. It is a confusing and shifting mixture. “I and the Father are one.� (Jn 10:29) “The Father is greater than I.� (Jn 14:28) The key is in John’s use of the language and concepts of Philo of Alexandria where this all makes sense. But that is way beyond the scope of this Topic, even though it is related to the development of the Trinity idea, mentioned in the OP.

Interesting, I and my wife are one. We are not the same.

BUt, I must admit, I would like you to expound upon Philo.
