Acts 5:11

Context
5:11 Great 1  fear gripped 2  the whole church 3  and all who heard about these things.

1 tn Grk “And great.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

2 tn Or “fear came on,” “fear seized”; Grk “fear happened to.”

3 sn This is the first occurrence of the term church (ἐκκλησία, ekklhsia) in Acts. It refers to an assembly of people.
