Kisah Para Rasul 4:21

4:21 After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising ¹  God for what had happened.

Kisah Para Rasul 28:6

28:6 But they were expecting that he was going to swell up ²  or suddenly drop dead. So after they had waited ³  a long time and had seen ⁴  nothing unusual happen ⁵  to him, they changed their minds ⁶  and said he was a god. ⁷ 

[4:21]  ¹ tn Or “glorifying.”

[28:6]  ² tn Or “going to burn with fever.” According to BDAG 814 s.v. πίμπρημι, either meaning (“swell up” or “burn with fever”) is possible for Acts 28:6.

[28:6]  ³ tn The participle προσδοκώντων (prosdokwntwn) has been taken temporally.

[28:6]  ⁴ tn The participle θεωρούντων (qewrountwn) has been taken temporally.

[28:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “happening.” The participle γινόμενον (ginomenon) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[28:6]  ⁶ tn Grk “changing their minds.” The participle μεταβαλόμενοι (metabalomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[28:6]  ⁷ sn And said he was a god. The reaction is like Acts 14:11-19 where the crowd wanted to make Paul and Barnabas into gods. The providence of God had protected Paul again.
