Acts 3:17 Context
15And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. 16And his Name through faith in his Name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him, hath giuen him this perfect soundnesse in the presence of you all. 17And now brethren, I wote that through ignorance yee did it, as did also your rulers. 18But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, hee hath so fulfilled. 19¶ Repent yee therefore, and bee conuerted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shal come from the presence of the Lord.

Wesley's Notes for Acts 3:17
3:17 And now, brethren - A word full of courtesy and compassion, I know - He speaks to their heart, that through ignorance ye did it - which lessened, though it could not take away, the guilt. As did also your rulers - The prejudice lying from the authority of the chief priests and elders, he here removes, but with great tenderness. He does not call them our, but your rulers. For as the Jewish dispensation ceased at the death of Christ, consequently so did the authority of its rulers.

Ac 3:17 I wot. "I know". It was in ignorance of the majestic personality of Jesus that they slew him. Their rulers, ignorant also, might have known better had they not blinded themselves by prejudice.
