Acts 2:37

Context
The Response to Peter’s Address

2:37 Now when they heard this, 4  they were acutely distressed 5  and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?”

1 tn Since this represents a continuation of the address beginning in v.14 and continued in v. 22, “brothers” has been used here rather than a generic expression like “brothers and sisters.”

2 sn Peter’s certainty is based on well-known facts.

3 tn Or “about our noted ancestor,” “about the patriarch.”

4 tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

5 tn Grk “they were pierced to the heart” (an idiom for acute emotional distress).
