Luke uses the word But to introduce information about what happened at the end of the story of Eutychus. Your language may have its own way of presenting such information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν παῖδα

the boy

Luke assumes that his readers will understand that by the boy, he means Eutychus. You can use his name if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Eutychus”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παρεκλήθησαν

/were/_comforted

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “this comforted them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ μετρίως

not moderately

Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “greatly”
