NET © Notes |
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the sequence of events. 2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 tn Grk “Peter taking hold of him…raised him up.” The participle πιάσας (piasas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. 4 tn Grk “his”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 5 sn At once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong. Note that despite the past lameness, the man is immediately able to walk. The restoration of his ability to walk pictures the presence of a renewed walk, a fresh start at life; this was far more than money would have given him. |
