Acts 2:24

New English Translation

²⁴But God raised him up,^[a] having released^[b] him from the pains^[c] of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.^[d]

Acts 2:24 tn Grk “Whom God raised up.”
Acts 2:24 tn Or “having freed.”
Acts 2:24 sn The term translated pains is frequently used to describe pains associated with giving birth (see Rev 12:2). So there is irony here in the mixed metaphor.
Acts 2:24 tn Or “for him to be held by it” (in either case, “it” refers to death’s power).
