Acts 5:5

5:5 When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped ¹  all who heard about it.

Acts 10:25

10:25 So when ²  Peter came in, Cornelius met ³  him, fell ⁴  at his feet, and worshiped ⁵  him.

Acts 15:16

15:16 ‘After this ⁶  I ⁷  will return,

and I will rebuild the fallen tent ⁸  of David;

I will rebuild its ruins and restore ⁹  it,

[5:5]  ¹ tn Or “fear came on,” “fear seized”; Grk “fear happened to.”

[10:25]  ² tn Grk “So it happened that when.” 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.

[10:25]  ³ tn Grk “meeting him.” The participle συναντήσας (sunanthsa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:25]  ⁴ tn Grk “falling at his feet, worshiped.” The participle πεσών (peswn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:25]  ⁵ sn When Cornelius worshiped Peter, it showed his piety and his respect for Peter, but it was an act based on ignorance, as Peter’s remark in v. 26 indicates.

[15:16]  ³ tn Grk “After these things.”

[15:16]  ⁴ sn The first person pronoun I refers to God and his activity. It is God who is doing this.

[15:16]  ⁵ tn Or more generally, “dwelling”; perhaps, “royal tent.” According to BDAG 928 s.v. σκηνή the word can mean “tent” or “hut,” or more generally “lodging” or “dwelling.” In this verse (a quotation from Amos 9:11) BDAG refers this to David’s ruined kingdom; it is possibly an allusion to a king’s tent (a royal tent). God is at work to reestablish David’s line (Acts 2:30-36; 13:32-39).

[15:16]  ⁶ tn BDAG 86 s.v. ἀνορθόω places this verb under the meaning “to build someth. up again after it has fallen, rebuild, restore,” but since ἀνοικοδομέω (anoikodomew, “rebuild”) has occurred twice in this verse already, “restore” is used here.
