25 Grk “And going out he followed.”
26 Grk “Peter going out followed him.” The participle ἐξελθών (exelthōn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
27 The word “him” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.
28 Grk “what was done through the angel was a reality” (see ἀληθής 3).
