rwp @Acts:4:29 @{And now } (\kai ta nun \). "And as to (accusative of general reference ) the now things (the present situation )." Only in the Acts in the N .T . (5:38 ; strkjv @17:30 ; strkjv @20:32 ; strkjv @27:22 |). {Grant } (\dos \). Second aorist active imperative of \did mi \, urgency of the aorist , Do it now . {To speak thy word with all boldness } (\meta parr sias pas s lalein ton logon sou \). Literally , "with all boldness to go on speaking (present active infinitive ) thy word ." Peter and John had defied the Sanhedrin in verse 20 |, but all the same and all the more they pray for courage in deed to live up to their brave words . A wholesome lesson . rwp @Acts:4:30 @{While thou stretchest forth thy hand } (\en t i t n cheira ekteinein se \). Luke 's favourite idiom , "In the stretching out (articular present active infinitive ) the hand as to thee " (accusative of general reference ), the second allusion to God 's "hand " in this prayer (verse 28 |). {To heal } (\eis iasin \). For healing . See verse 22 |. {And that signs and wonders may be done } (\kai s meia kai terata ginesthai \). Either to be taken as in the same construction as \ekteinein \ with \en t i \ as Revised Version has it here or to be treated as subordinate purpose to \en t i ekteinein \ (as Knowling , Page , Wendt , Hackett ). The latter most likely true . They ask for a visible sign or proof that God has heard this prayer for courage to be faithful even unto death .
