Acts 10:19-20

Context
10:19 While Peter was still thinking seriously about 1  the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Look! Three men are looking for you. 10:20 But get up, 2  go down, and accompany them without hesitation, 3  because I have sent them.”

1 tn The translation “think seriously about” for διενθυμέομαι (dienqumeomai) is given in L&N 30.2. Peter was “pondering” the vision (BDAG 244 s.v.).

2 tn Grk “But getting up, go down.” The participle ἀναστάς (anastas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 tn The term means “without doubting” or “without deliberation.” It is a term of conscience and discernment. In effect, Peter is to listen to them rather than hesitate (BDAG 231 s.v. διακρίνω 6).
