Bible Comments

And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

And devout men, х andres (G435) eulabeis (G2126)] - pious Jews, impressed probably with admiration for Stephen, and secretly inclined to Christianity, though not yet prepared, especially while the persecution raged, openly to declare themselves.

Carried Stephen to his burial. The words "to his burial" should not have been put in Italics, as the word which our translators render "carried" х sunekomisan (G4792)] implies as much.
