Acts 2:15

2:15 In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk, ¹  for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. ² 

Acts 2:1

Acts 5:17

Further Trouble for the Apostles

5:17 Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadducees ⁴ ), ⁵  and they were filled with jealousy. ⁶ 

Acts 5:2

5:2 He ⁷  kept back for himself part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge; he brought ⁸  only part of it and placed it at the apostles’ feet.

Acts 2:13

2:13 But others jeered at the speakers, ⁹  saying, “They are drunk on new wine!” ¹⁰ 

¹ tn Grk “These men are not drunk, as you suppose.”

² tn Grk “only the third hour.”

³ tn Grk “And” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style does not.

⁴ sn See the note on Sadducees in 4:1.

⁵ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

⁶ sn Filled with jealousy. In Acts, the term “jealousy” (ζήλος, zhlos) occurs only here and in Acts 13:45. It is a key term in Judaism for religiously motivated rage (1 Macc 2:24; 1QH 14:13-15; m. Sanhedrin 9:5). It was a zeal motivated by a desire to maintain the purity of the faith.

⁷ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

⁸ tn The participle ἐνέγκας (enenka") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁹ tn The words “the speakers” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

¹⁰ tn Grk “They are full of new wine!”
