Acts 20:12

They took the boy home alive and were greatly ¹  comforted.

Isa 40:1; Ac 20:10; 2Co 1:4; Eph 6:22; 1Th 3:2; 1Th 4:18; 1Th 5:11,14; 2Th 2:16

¹ tn Grk “were not to a moderate degree” (an idiom). L&N 78.11 states: “μετρίως: a moderate degree of some activity or state – ‘moderately, to a moderate extent.’ ἤγαγον δὲ τὸν παῖδα ζῶντα, καὶ παρεκλήθησαν οὐ μετρίωθς ‘they took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted’ Ac 20:12. In Ac 20:12 the phrase οὐ μετρίως, literally ‘not to a moderate degree,’ is equivalent to a strong positive statement, namely, ‘greatly’ or ‘to a great extent.’”
