Acts 2:6

2:6 When this sound ¹  occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, ²  because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

Acts 8:30

8:30 So Philip ran up ³  to it ⁴  and heard the man ⁵  reading Isaiah the prophet. He ⁶  asked him, ⁷  “Do you understand what you’re reading?”

¹ tn Or “this noise.”

² tn Or “was bewildered.”

³ tn The participle προσδραμών (prosdramwn) is regarded as attendant circumstance.

⁴ tn The words “to it” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

⁵ tn Grk “heard him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

⁷ tn Grk “he said”; but since what follows is a question, it is better English style to translate the introduction to the question “he asked him.”
