Acts 5:6

5:6 So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

Acts 8:2

8:2 Some devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.

tn Or “arose.”

tn The translation “wrapped up” for συνέστειλαν (sunesteilan) is suggested by L&N 79.119, but another interpretation is possible. The same verb could also be translated “removed” (see L&N 15.200), although that sense appears somewhat redundant and out of sequence with the following verb and participle (“carried him out and buried him”).

sn Buried. Same day burial was a custom in the Jewish world of the first century (cf. also Deut 21:23).

tn “Some” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

sn Made loud lamentation. For someone who was stoned to death, lamentation was normally not allowed (m. Sanhedrin 6:6). The remark points to an unjust death.

tn Or “mourned greatly for him.”
