Acts 8:6

8:6 The crowds were paying attention with one mind to what Philip said, ¹  as they heard and saw the miraculous signs ²  he was performing.

Acts 12:9

12:9 Peter ³  went out ⁴  and followed him; ⁵  he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, ⁶  but thought he was seeing a vision.

[8:6]  ¹ tn Grk “to what was being said by Philip,” a passive construction that has been changed to active voice in the translation.

[8:6]  ² tn Here the following context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned. This term appears 13 times in Acts, but only twice more after Acts 8:13 (i.e., 14:3; 15:12).

[12:9]  ³ tn Grk “And going out he followed.”

[12:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “Peter going out followed him.” The participle ἐξελθών (exelqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[12:9]  ⁵ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[12:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “what was done through the angel was a reality” (see BDAG 43 s.v. ἀληθής 3).
