1 sn The only other use of this verb for anger (furious) is Acts 7:54 after Stephen’s speech.
2 sn Wanted to execute them. The charge would surely be capital insubordination (Exod 22:28).
3 tn This verb, which also occurs in Acts 5:33, means “cut to the quick” or “deeply infuriated” (BDAG 235 s.v. διαπρίω).
4 tn Or “they gnashed their teeth.” This idiom is a picture of violent rage (BDAG 184 s.v. βρύχω). See also Ps 35:16.
5 tn Or “known all over.” BDAG 511 s.v. κατά A.1.c. has “became known throughout all Joppa” for γνωστὸν γενέσθαι καθ᾿ ὅλης ᾿Ιόππης (gnwston genesqai kaq’ {olh" Iopph").
6 sn This became known…many believed in the Lord. This is a “sign” miracle that pictures how the Lord can give life.
