This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
10. ἐπεγίνωσκον. This verb is rendered they took knowledge in Act 4:13, and that is the better sense here. It can hardly be intended to say that the whole of the people present knew the man. For the construction which brings from the predicate-sentence its subject and makes it the object in the antecedent clause, cf. below, Act 9:20, ἐκήρυσσεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.

πρός with an accusative of the aim or purpose. Cf. Act 27:12, πρὸς παραχειμασίαν, ‘for the purpose of wintering in.’
