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 16:26

16:26 Suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors flew open, and the bonds ²  of all the prisoners came loose.

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

[16:26]  ² tn Or perhaps, “chains.” The translation of τὰ δεσμά (ta desma) is to some extent affected by the understanding of ξύλον (xulon, “stocks”) in v. 24. It is possible (as mentioned in L&N 18.12) that this does not mean “stocks” but a block of wood (a log or wooden column) in the prison to which prisoners’ feet were chained or tied.
