Acts 20:8

20:8 (Now there were many lamps ¹  in the upstairs room where we were meeting.) ² 

Acts 9:37

9:37 At that time ³  she became sick ⁴  and died. When they had washed ⁵  her body, ⁶  they placed it in an upstairs room.

[20:8]  ¹ tn More commonly λαμπάς (lampa") means “torch,” but here according to BDAG 585 s.v. λαμπάς 2, “lamp…w. a wick and space for oil.”

[20:8]  ² sn This is best taken as a parenthetical note by the author.

[9:37]  ³ tn Grk “It happened that in those days.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[9:37]  ⁴ tn Grk “becoming sick, she died.” The participle ἀσθενήσασαν (asqenhsasan) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[9:37]  ⁵ tn The participle λούσαντες (lousante") is taken temporally.

[9:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “washed her,” but the reference is to her corpse.
