5:5 When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped 1 all who heard about it. 5:6 So the young men came, 2 wrapped him up, 3 carried him out, and buried 4 him.
1 tn Or “fear came on,” “fear seized”; Grk “fear happened to.”
2 tn Or “arose.”
3 tn The translation “wrapped up” for συνέστειλαν (sunesteilan) is suggested by L&N 79.119, but another interpretation is possible. The same verb could also be translated “removed” (see L&N 15.200), although that sense appears somewhat redundant and out of sequence with the following verb and participle (“carried him out and buried him”).
4 sn Buried. Same day burial was a custom in the Jewish world of the first century (cf. also Deut 21:23).
