Acts 28:6

Context
28:6 But they were expecting that he was going to swell up¹ or suddenly drop dead. So after they had waited² a long time and had seen³ nothing unusual happen⁴ to him, they changed their minds⁵ and said he was a god.⁶

¹tn Or “going to burn with fever.” According to BDAG 814 s.v. πίμπρημι, either meaning (“swell up” or “burn with fever”) is possible for Acts 28:6.

²tn The participle προσδοκώντων (prosdokwntwn) has been taken temporally.

³tn The participle θεωρούντων (qewrountwn) has been taken temporally.

⁴tn Grk “happening.” The participle γινόμενον (ginomenon) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁵tn Grk “changing their minds.” The participle μεταβαλόμενοι (metabalomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁶sn And said he was a god. The reaction is like Acts 14:11-19 where the crowd wanted to make Paul and Barnabas into gods. The providence of God had protected Paul again.
