Acts 10:20

Context
10:20 But get up, 4  go down, and accompany them without hesitation, 5  because I have sent them.”

1 tn Grk “So he”; the referent (the lame man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Or “to associate with them.” The group was beginning to have a controversial separate identity. People were cautious about joining them. The next verse suggests that the phrase “none of the rest” in this verse is rhetorical hyperbole.

3 tn Or “the people thought very highly of them.”

4 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.

5 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).
