7:54 When they heard these things, they became furious ¹  and ground their teeth ²  at him.

Kisah Para Rasul 5:33

5:33 Now when they heard this, they became furious ³  and wanted to execute them. ⁴ 

[7:54]  ¹ tn This verb, which also occurs in Acts 5:33, means “cut to the quick” or “deeply infuriated” (BDAG 235 s.v. διαπρίω).

[7:54]  ² tn Or “they gnashed their teeth.” This idiom is a picture of violent rage (BDAG 184 s.v. βρύχω). See also Ps 35:16.

[5:33]  ³ sn The only other use of this verb for anger (furious) is Acts 7:54 after Stephen’s speech.

[5:33]  ⁴ sn Wanted to execute them. The charge would surely be capital insubordination (Exod 22:28).
