Notes: Since πυνθάνομαι[b] and διερωτάω imply quite distinct semantic components, namely ‘to acquire information’ and ‘by the process of questioning,’ it may be appropriate in many languages to use two verbs meaning ‘to ask’ and ‘to find out.’ Accordingly, this expression in RV ACT 10:17 · LV ACT 10:17 · Read together ACT 10:17 may be rendered as ‘meanwhile, men sent by Cornelius asked and learned where Simon’s house was.’
