Acts 5:8

Context
5:8 Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of you 1  paid this amount 2  for the land?” Sapphira 3  said, “Yes, that much.”

Acts 8:10

Context
8:10 All the people, 4  from the least to the greatest, paid close attention to him, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called ‘Great.’” 5 

1 tn The words “the two of” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to indicate that the verb (ἀπέδοσθε, apedosqe) is plural and thus refers to both Ananias and Sapphira.

2 tn Grk “so much,” “as much as this.”

3 tn Grk “She”; the referent (Sapphira) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Grk “all of them”; the referent (the people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Or “This man is what is called the Great Power of God.” The translation “what is called the Great Power of God” is given by BDAG 263 s.v. δύναμις 5, but the repetition of the article before καλουμένη μεγάλη (kaloumenh megalh) suggests the translation “the power of God that is called ‘Great.’”
