Acts 10:26

10:26 But Peter helped him up, ¹  saying, “Stand up. I too am a mere mortal.” ² 

Revelation 19:19

19:19 Then ³  I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the one who rode the horse and with his army.

Revelation 22:9

22:9 But ⁴  he said to me, “Do not do this! ⁵  I am a fellow servant ⁶  with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey ⁷  the words of this book. Worship God!”

¹ tn BDAG 271 s.v. ἐγείρω 3 has “raise, help to rise….Stretched out Ac 10:26.”

² tn Although it is certainly true that Peter was a “man,” here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") has been translated as “mere mortal” because the emphasis in context is not on Peter’s maleness, but his humanity. Contrary to what Cornelius thought, Peter was not a god or an angelic being, but a mere mortal.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

⁵ tn On the elliptical expression ὅρα μή ({ora mh) BDAG 720 s.v. ὁράω B.2 states: “Elliptically…ὅρα μή (sc. ποιήσῃς) watch out! don’t do that! Rv 19:10; 22:9.”

⁶ tn Grk “fellow slave.” Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) is here translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

⁷ tn Grk “keep” (an idiom for obedience).
