Acts 5:36

5:36 For some time ago ¹  Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He ²  was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and nothing came of it. ³ 

Acts 6:7

6:7 The word of God continued to spread, ⁴  the number of disciples in Jerusalem ⁵  increased greatly, and a large group ⁶  of priests became obedient to the faith.

[5:36]  ¹ tn Grk “For before these days.”

[5:36]  ² tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the pronoun “he,” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point.

[5:36]  ³ tn Grk “and they came to nothing.” Gamaliel’s argument is that these two insurrectionists were taken care of by natural events.

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “kept on spreading”; the verb has been translated as a progressive imperfect.
