Acts 4:14

4:14 And because they saw the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against this. ¹ 

Acts 9:33

9:33 He found there a man named Aeneas who had been confined to a mattress for eight years because ²  he was paralyzed.

¹ tn Or “nothing to say in opposition.”

² tn Since the participle κατακείμενον (katakeimenon), an adjectival participle modifying Αἰνέαν (Ainean), has been translated into English as a relative clause (“who had been confined to a mattress”), it would be awkward to follow with a second relative clause (Grk “who was paralyzed”). Furthermore, the relative pronoun here has virtually a causal force, giving the reason for confinement to the mattress, so it is best translated “because.”
