Acts 4:33

4:33 With ¹  great power the apostles were giving testimony ²  to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.

Acts 5:8

5:8 Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of you ³  paid this amount ⁴  for the land?” Sapphira ⁵  said, “Yes, that much.”

Acts 19:40

19:40 For ⁶  we are in danger of being charged with rioting ⁷  today, since there is no cause we can give to explain ⁸  this disorderly gathering.” ⁹ 

[4:33]  ¹ tn Grk “And with.” 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.

[4:33]  ² tn Or “were witnessing.”

[5:8]  ³ tn The words “the two of” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to indicate that the verb (ἀπέδοσθε, apedosqe) is plural and thus refers to both Ananias and Sapphira.

[5:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “so much,” “as much as this.”

[5:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “She”; the referent (Sapphira) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:40]  ⁵ tn Grk “For indeed.” The ascensive force of καί (kai) would be awkward to translate here.

[19:40]  ⁶ tn The term translated “rioting” refers to a revolt or uprising (BDAG 940 s.v. στάσις 2, 3). This would threaten Roman rule and invite Roman intervention.

[19:40]  ⁷ tn Or “to account for.” Grk “since there is no cause concerning which we can give account concerning this disorderly gathering.” The complexity of the Greek relative clause (“which”) and the multiple prepositions (“concerning”) have been simplified in the translation consistent with contemporary English style.

[19:40]  ⁸ tn Or “commotion.” BDAG 979 s.v. συστροφή 1 gives the meaning “a tumultuous gathering of people, disorderly/seditious gathering or commotion…Ac 19:40.”
