Acts 1:10

1:10 As ¹  they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly ²  two men in white clothing stood near them

Acts 3:8

3:8 He ³  jumped up, ⁴  stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts ⁵  with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

Acts 14:14

14:14 But when the apostles ⁶  Barnabas and Paul heard about ⁷  it, they tore ⁸  their clothes and rushed out ⁹  into the crowd, shouting, ¹⁰ 

[1:10]  ¹ tn Grk “And as.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[1:10]  ² tn Grk “behold.”

[3:8]  ³ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[3:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “Jumping up, he stood.” The participle ἐξαλλόμενος (exallomeno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. It is possible that the paralyzed man actually jumped off the ground, but more probably this term simply refers to the speed with which he stood up. See L&N 15.240.

[3:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[14:14]  ⁵ sn The apostles Barnabas and Paul. This is one of only two places where Luke calls Paul an apostle, and the description here is shared with Barnabas. This is a nontechnical use here, referring to a commissioned messenger.

[14:14]  ⁶ tn The participle ἀκούσαντες (akousante") is taken temporally.

[14:14]  ⁷ tn Grk “tearing their clothes they rushed out.” The participle διαρρήξαντες (diarrhxante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. This action is a Jewish response to blasphemy (m. Sanhedrin 7.5; Jdt 14:16-17).

[14:14]  ⁸ tn So BDAG 307 s.v. ἐκπηδάω 1, “rush (lit. ‘leap’) out…εἰς τὸν ὄχλον into the crowd Ac 14:14.”

[14:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “shouting and saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes, in v. 15) has not been translated because it is redundant.
