Acts 12:9

Context
12:9 Peter 1  went out 2  and followed him; 3  he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, 4  but thought he was seeing a vision.

1 tn Grk “And going out he followed.”

2 tn Grk “Peter going out followed him.” The participle ἐξελθών (exelqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

4 tn Grk “what was done through the angel was a reality” (see BDAG 43 s.v. ἀληθής 3).
