Acts 9:7

9:7 (Now the men who were traveling with him stood there speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)

Daniel 10:7

10:7 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men who were with me did not see it. On the contrary, they were overcome with fright and ran away to hide.

tn That is, unable to speak because of fear or amazement. See BDAG 335 s.v. ἐνεός.

tn Heb “the vision.”

tn Heb “great trembling fell on them.”
