Acts 5:6

So the young men came, ¹  wrapped him up, ²  carried him out, and buried ³  him.

Le 10:4-6; De 21:23; 2Sa 18:17; Joh 19:40

¹ tn Or “arose.”

² tn The translation “wrapped up” for συνέστειλαν (sunesteilan) is suggested by L&N 79.119, but another interpretation is possible. The same verb could also be translated “removed” (see L&N 15.200), although that sense appears somewhat redundant and out of sequence with the following verb and participle (“carried him out and buried him”).

³ sn Buried. Same day burial was a custom in the Jewish world of the first century (cf. also Deut 21:23).
