Acts 9:40
Context9:40 But Peter sent them all outside, 1 knelt down, 2 and prayed. Turning 3 to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” Then she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 4
Hebrews 11:19
Context11:19 and he reasoned 5 that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense 6 he received him back from there.
[9:40] 1 tn Grk “Peter, sending them all outside, knelt down.” The participle ἐκβαλών (ekbalwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[9:40] 2 tn Grk “and kneeling down,” 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. Instead the “and” is placed before the verb προσηύξατο (proshuxato, “and prayed”). The participle θείς (qeis) is taken as a participle of attendant circumstance.
[9:40] 3 tn Grk “and turning.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.
[9:40] 4 sn She sat up. This event is told much like Luke 8:49-56 and Mark 5:35-43. Peter’s ministry mirrored that of Jesus.
[11:19] 5 tn Grk “having reasoned,” continuing the ideas of v. 17.
