Acts 5:41

5:41 So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthy ¹  to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. ² 

Acts 13:24

13:24 Before ³  Jesus ⁴  arrived, John ⁵  had proclaimed a baptism for repentance ⁶  to all the people of Israel.

[5:41]  ¹ sn That is, considered worthy by God. They “gloried in their shame” of honoring Jesus with their testimony (Luke 6:22-23; 2 Macc 6:30).

[5:41]  ² sn The name refers to the name of Jesus (cf. 3 John 7).

[13:24]  ³ tn Grk “John having already proclaimed before his coming a baptism…,” a genitive absolute construction which is awkward in English. A new sentence was begun in the translation at this point.

[13:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the context for clarity, since God is mentioned in the preceding context and John the Baptist in the following clause.

[13:24]  ⁵ sn John refers here to John the Baptist.

[13:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “a baptism of repentance”; the genitive has been translated as a genitive of purpose.
