Greek Commentary for Acts 8:39
Not from the edge of the water, but up out of the water as in Mark 1:10. [source]
Suddenly and miraculously, for αρπαζω harpazō like the Latin rapio, means to carry off. Cf. 2 Corinthians 12:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Went on his way (επορευετο eporeueto). Kept on going, imperfect active. [source]
Kept on going, imperfect active. [source]
Suddenly and miraculously. [source]
A mistranslation. Rev., rightly, “for he went.” A reason is given for the eunuch's seeing Philip no more. He did not stop nor take another road to seek him, but went on his way. [source]
