Acts 9:13

9:13 But Ananias replied, ¹  “Lord, I have heard from many people ²  about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,

Acts 18:10

18:10 because I am with you, and no one will assault ³  you to harm ⁴  you, because I have many people in this city.”

¹ sn Ananias replied. Past events might have suggested to Ananias that this was not good counsel, but like Peter in Acts 10, Ananias’ intuitions were wrong.

² tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

³ tn BDAG 384 s.v. ἐπιτίθημι 2 has “to set upon, attack, lay a hand on” here, but “assault” is a contemporary English equivalent very close to the meaning of the original.

⁴ tn Or “injure.”
