Acts 5:5

5:5 When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped ¹  all who heard about it.

Acts 6:12

6:12 They incited the people, the ²  elders, and the experts in the law; ³  then they approached Stephen, ⁴  seized him, and brought him before the council. ⁵ 

Acts 7:23

7:23 But when he was about forty years old, it entered his mind ⁶  to visit his fellow countrymen ⁷  the Israelites. ⁸ 

Acts 10:24

10:24 The following day ⁹  he entered Caesarea. ¹⁰  Now Cornelius was waiting anxiously ¹¹  for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

¹ tn Or “fear came on,” “fear seized”; Grk “fear happened to.”

² tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

³ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

⁴ tn Grk “approaching, they seized him”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Or “the Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). Stephen suffers just as Peter and John did.

³ tn Grk “heart.”

⁴ tn Grk “brothers.” The translation “compatriot” is given by BDAG 18-19 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.b.

⁵ tn Grk “the sons of Israel.”

⁴ tn Grk “On the next day,” but since this phrase has already occurred in v. 23, it would be redundant in English to use it again here.

⁵ sn Caesarea was a city on the coast of Palestine south of Mount Carmel (not Caesarea Philippi).

⁶ tn Normally προσδοκάω (prosdokaw) means “to wait with apprehension or anxiety for something,” often with the implication of impending danger or trouble (L&N 25.228), but in this context the anxiety Cornelius would have felt came from the importance of the forthcoming message as announced by the angel.
