The Key Word — διεπρίοντο, diapriōgenerated
The verb διεπρίοντο is an imperfect passive indicative form of διαπρίω, meaning 'to be cut through' or 'to feel cut up.' It conveys a deep emotional response, specifically anger or distress, as seen in other instances in the New Testament.
This word captures the essence of the Council's reaction — they were not just angry; they were deeply disturbed, as if they were emotionally wounded by the apostles' claims. The use of this term indicates the severity of their feelings and their desire to take drastic action.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses enraged, which is echoed in the KJV's cut to the heart and ASV's cut to the heart, both capturing the emotional turmoil of the Council.
However, other translations diverge in their portrayal of the Council's fury. The FBV and NETB opt for furious, while the DBY and WEB maintain the sense of kill in their rendering of the apostles' fate.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of a main clause and several subordinate clauses. The main action is expressed by the verb διεπρίοντο, they felt cut up, which is supported by an infinitive phrase to execute that describes their intent.
The structure reveals a progression of thought: first, the Council hears the apostles, then they react emotionally, and finally, they decide on a course of action. The use of participial and infinitive phrases helps to clarify the sequence of events.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Acts 5:33, the word ἀκούσαντες (akouō), meaning 'having heard', corresponds to the Hebrew שָׁמַע (shama), which conveys the act of hearing or listening. This choice emphasizes the importance of the Council's response to the apostles' message, indicating that their reaction is based on what they have heard.
The term ἐβούλοντο (bouleuō), translated as 'they were desiring', relates to the Hebrew words חָפֵץ (chafetz) and אָבָה (avah), which suggest a sense of delight or willingness. This indicates that the Council's desire to take action against the apostles is not merely a reaction, but a deliberate choice fueled by their intense feelings.
Finally, the word ἀνελεῖν (anaireō), meaning 'to execute', is linked to the Hebrew הָרַג (harag), which means 'to kill'. This connection underscores the severity of the Council's intention to eliminate the apostles, highlighting the gravity of their decision.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 5:33 shows that when the Council members heard the apostles' message, they became very angry and wanted to kill them. This reaction demonstrates the conflict between the early church and the Jewish leaders, who felt threatened by the apostles' teachings.

The persons spoken of are principally the high priest and his Sadducean followers (Acts 5:17).

The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place.

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ἀκούω, transliterated as akouo, means 'to hear' or 'to listen.' It covers a range of meanings from simply hearing sounds to understanding and obeying what is said. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including commands to listen (e.g., Mk 4:3) and references to understanding (e.g., 1 Cor 14:2). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

[in LXX chiefly for שׁמע;]
to hear, listen, attend, perceive by hearing, comprehend by hearing.

The Greek word διαπρίω (i.e., *diaprio*) means to saw asunder or to cut through, both literally and metaphorically. It is used in the New Testament to describe a deep emotional reaction, such as being 'cut to the heart' (Acts 5:33; 7:54). The word combines the prefix δια- (through) with a root meaning related to sawing, indicating a division or intense emotional impact.
δια-πρίω : impf. pass. διεπριόμην ; to saw asunder or in twain, to divide by a saw: 1 Chr. xx. 3; Plat. conv. p. 193 a.; Arstph. eqq. 768,and elsewhere.

Lk. ii. 35); μεγάλως ἐχαλέπαινον καὶ διεπρίοντο καθ᾽ ἡμῶν, Euseb. ἢ. 6. 5, 1, 6 [15 ed. Heinich. ; ef. Gataker, Advers. misc. col. 916 g.].

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

βούλομαι, transliterated as boulomai, means to will, wish, or desire, and implies a deliberate intention stronger than θέλω (thelo). It is often used with an infinitive or an accusative and infinitive construction. The New Testament employs it in various contexts, such as in Mark 15:15 and Acts 5:28. Lexicons note its use in expressing choice or preference, but there is some discussion about the nuances between βούλομαι and similar verbs.

The Greek word ἀναιρέω (anairéō) is built from the prefix ἀν- and a root meaning to take. It covers a range of meanings including to take up, to kill, and to abolish. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts of murder (e.g., Matthew 2:16) and the abolition of laws (e.g., Hebrews 10:9).

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.
