Acts 8:2

Some ¹  devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation ²  over him. ³ 

Ge 23:2; Ge 50:10,11; Nu 20:29; De 34:8; 1Sa 28:3; 2Sa 3:31; 2Ch 32:33; 2Ch 35:25; Isa 57:1,2; Jer 22:10,18; Lu 2:25; Joh 11:31-35; Ac 2:5; Ac 10:2

¹ tn “Some” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

² sn Made loud lamentation. For someone who was stoned to death, lamentation was normally not allowed (m. Sanhedrin 6:6). The remark points to an unjust death.

³ tn Or “mourned greatly for him.”
